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.
Run and build with open AI models locally or in the cloud
Install once and pull open-weight models by name; Ollama handles weights, quantization and versioning for you.
A built-in server exposes a straightforward REST API, so scripts, editors and agents can talk to local models with minimal setup.
Route requests to hosted open models when your laptop cannot hold the checkpoint you need, with per-token pricing and concurrency tiers.
Access families such as Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek, Gemma, Mistral and gpt-oss from a single interface.
Free / Open-sourceDelivers exceptional open-weight reasoning performance at very low cost, but lacks BigModel's broad enterprise multi-modal agent building suite.
Provides industry-leading frontier intelligence and developer ecosystems, but lacks BigModel's specialized GLM architecture and native Chinese language optimizations.
Offers massive context windows and robust multimodal Gemini APIs, but differs in model architecture and regional enterprise tooling.
#3SpecialistCloud API gateway providing instant access to thousands of models, trading local hardware privacy for cloud compute.
SpecialistOne API for 1,500+ production-ready generative media models
Free / Open-sourceSpecializes in serverless open-source model hosting and dedicated GPU clusters, but provides less native proprietary GLM model integration.
Run, fine-tune, and deploy machine learning models with one line of code
Free / Open-sourceOpen-source platform for building visual agentic workflows and RAG pipelines using local or cloud models.
Free / Open-sourceFeature-rich self-hosted web chat interface designed to manage and query local models like Ollama.
Delivers ultra-fast inference speeds for open-weight models, but focuses less on proprietary enterprise agent building toolkits than BigModel.
Free / Open-sourcePrivacy-first desktop app focused specifically on local document chat and RAG, unlike Ollama's general-purpose CLI runtime.
Free / Open-sourceOffers highly cost-effective serverless inference for open models, but lacks BigModel's integrated enterprise knowledge base and agent tools.
