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.
Open-source model and dataset hub with one-click online demos
Browse and download thousands of pretrained models and datasets across NLP, vision, audio, and multimodal tasks.
Try models directly in the browser through hosted inference demos without local setup.
Run training and fine-tuning in cloud notebooks with complimentary GPU and CPU resources.
Integrate ModelScope models into your own pipelines using the official Python package and APIs.
