This works:

  $ZAI_ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=xxx
  $ZAI_ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=xxx

  alias "claude-zai"="ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=$ZAI_ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=$ZAI_ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN claude"

Then you can run `claude`, hit your limit, exit the session and `claude-zai -c` to continue (with context reset, of course).

There is config you can add to your ~/.claude/settings.json file for this. (I'm on mobile!)

I tried this and it broke the conversation. :(

Yes you usually need to compact first before doing this kind of thing because the context windows are different.

Thanks will try it out.

Why would one want to do that instead of using claude-zai -c from the start? All this is pretty new to me, kick a n00b a clue please.

Claude is smarter than this model. So spilling over to a less preferred model when you run out of quota is a thing.
