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.
Low-cost serverless inference APIs for 200+ open models
Access text, image, speech, music and video models from multiple families through one consistent API, with task- and family-based browsing.
Per-million-token rates with input, output and cached-input breakdowns shown up front, including current discounts on many models.
Rent data-center GPUs by the instance-hour when you need raw compute for fine-tuning, custom serving or burst workloads.
Inputs and outputs are not retained, and the platform holds SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications for information security.
Free / Open-sourceDelivers exceptional open-weight reasoning performance at very low cost, but lacks BigModel's broad enterprise multi-modal agent building suite.
