Zhipu AI's open platform for GLM large models, multimodal APIs, and agent building
Unified access to GLM large language models plus vision, OCR, speech, image, and video endpoints through one account.
Build tool-using agents and expose or consume MCP services to connect models to external systems.
Create managed knowledge bases and retrieval pipelines so models can answer with your own documents.
Tune models on your data and prototype prompts interactively in the browser before shipping.
Battle-test AI coding models side by side
Send the same coding prompt to multiple leading models and compare their generated apps and logic side by side.
Watch models construct web apps and websites live, so you can see process and output, not just the final file.
Projects go beyond one-off snippets, testing how well a model structures components, routes, and styles together.
Track which coding models accumulate the most wins over time to identify consistently strong performers.
Free / Open-sourceDelivers exceptional open-weight reasoning performance at very low cost, but lacks BigModel's broad enterprise multi-modal agent building suite.
