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.

Fundamentals, a full SaaS build, and the business side — payments, domains, hosting, SEO — are covered in about twelve hours of video instead of the dozens of hours a conventional JavaScript course spends on topics you will never use.
Rather than theory for interviews, you progressively build a real authenticated, paying SaaS, which is the actual deliverable of the course.
Sections on AI-powered coding and design show how to use AI to explain code, fix bugs and generate parts of your app, framed as leverage on top of fundamentals.
The syllabus includes the non-coding skills that decide whether an app makes money: copywriting essentials, payments with Stripe and LemonSqueezy, domain and DNS setup, hosting and SEO.
