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.
Long-horizon AI agents that run insurance and financial services work end to end
Long-horizon agents that work uninterrupted for hours or days, reasoning through evidence and risk rather than just surfacing a recommendation.
Officially oriented around carriers, financial institutions, TPAs, and lenders, with coverage across 16 lines of business including auto, property, travel, life, health, commercial, workers' comp, cyber, and mortgage.
Strata lets users ask in plain English to pull reports, query the agent fleet, change how agents behave, and even build and ship a brand-new agent for a workflow.
Agents run across the tools your teams already use, with no rip-and-replace and no forced migration to a new system of record.
