Feature & Specification Comparison

Specification	Glm MCP djerok Coding Agents	Deepseek As Subagent PsChina Coding Agents
Summary	Run GLM (Zhipu/Z.ai) as a real sub-agent inside Claude Code or GitHub Copilot. GLM gets its own agent loop (read/write/edit/run) on your repo — not a single LLM call — with peak-aware Opus-vs-GLM routing, diff/dry-run/git-revert oversight, and a usage ledger. 10x cheaper than Opus. Requires a Z.ai GLM Coding Plan key.	Run DeepSeek as a real sub-agent inside Claude Code / Codex CLI. DeepSeek gets its own 7-tool agent loop (Read/Write/Edit/Bash/Glob/Grep/NotebookEdit) in a sandboxed workspace, not just a single LLM call. Includes token-based command sandbox, pre-flight web-search pattern, and cross-platform installer.
