If only this infrastructure could handle all the traffic. I've tried using glm via z.ai - and it's a snail kind of slow.

And at the same time you have pretty strict limits to your usage, so in many cases you can't even let it work all night, as you will reach your limit faster than that.

That it's slow doesn't mean it can't handle the traffic, just that this speed is the optimal tradeoff to them. They benefit from serving more tokens by exploiting parallelism across users at a lower number of tokens per second per user, instead of serving each individual user as quickly as possible. When there's a drop in traffic, they probably shut down GPUs rather than giving you higher speed.
