GLM 5.2 free for eve agents through August 27

Z.ai's 1M-token open-weights coding model is default on eve agents with free access until end of August via Vercel's AI Gateway.

Summary

Developers building eve agents get a capable coding model with extended context at zero cost during the trial window. Switching is a one-line config change, making it trivial to benchmark against your current setup.

Why it matters

Implementation verdict

Replaces your current eve agent model. Requires: one-line change to `agent/agent.ts` (set `model: "zai/glm-5.2"`) or `eve set --model zai/glm-5.2`. Worth trying now if you're already on eve; test before August 27 to evaluate quality before paid tier kicks in.
