I'm curious, how well do z.ai reverse engineers protocols ? Is it good enough that we'll see Chinese device makers creating low cost hardware clones, that connect to western software ?

I had it do the opposite: reverse engineer the protocol for the Eufymake E1 UV printer so that I can connect my own software to it.

It did a pretty good job.

Have you published this anywhere? I've been thinking about doing the same thing.

At least Deepseek V4 Flash does it very good.
