Z.ai's GLM-5 (744B/40B MoE, MIT license, 205K context) is free on NVIDIA NIM at 40 req/min with no credit card. Benchmarks: 77.8% SWE-bench Verified (highest open-source), 56.2 Terminal-Bench 2.0 (approaching Opus 4.5's 59.3). Trained entirely on 100,000 Huawei Ascend chips. You can point Claude Code at this model via claude-launcher's translation proxy. Strongest free coding model available today. (NVIDIA NIM)
