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.
Give your AI agents live business data they can trust
Hook up GA4, Google Ads, HubSpot, Stripe, Search Console, and warehouses or databases via OAuth or a key — read-only, with nothing to self-host.
Tell Sequel once what a qualified lead, active account, or blended CAC means for your team, and every agent applies the same definition every time.
Sequel returns the query it ran with each result, so you can verify a figure instead of trusting it blindly.
Runs over MCP, so one connection serves Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, and other MCP clients without reconnecting sources.
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.
#3SpecialistAggregates hundreds of global models under one API endpoint, whereas BigModel provides direct native infrastructure for Zhipu's GLM models.

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

An agentic analytics platform that turns questions into governed, trusted answers
Chat with your data to get analysis, charts, reports, and slides
Delivers ultra-fast inference speeds for open-weight models, but focuses less on proprietary enterprise agent building toolkits than BigModel.

Free / Open-sourceOffers highly cost-effective serverless inference for open models, but lacks BigModel's integrated enterprise knowledge base and agent tools.
One API for fast, cost-predictable inference on LLMs and multimodal models
