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.

Install for VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf, or add a Chromium and Firefox extension, then keep using your usual AI tools with no workflow changes.
Package.json is inspected on your own machine to match relevant ads, and only anonymous keyword tags are sent; source code is never read, stored, or transmitted.
Campaigns reach audiences defined by technologies in their code, such as React, Python, AWS, or Kubernetes, instead of third-party browsing cookies.
Withdraw earnings through Stripe or PayPal, or take API credits with a bonus, with referrals earning a share of what they bring in.
