<Tip>
  Z.ai offers a dedicated [Coding Plan](https://docs.z.ai/api-reference/introduction) with a subscription-based endpoint optimized for coding tasks. To use it, set `apiBase` to `https://api.z.ai/api/coding/paas/v4/`. This endpoint uses prompt-based pricing rather than token-based pricing and may be more cost-effective for coding workflows.
