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.
A model-agnostic Ruby framework for building AI agents and automations
Use OpenAI, Claude or Gemini — or plug in your own provider — without locking your app to one model.
Reusable classes for single generation tasks such as code from description or a description from code.
Operations that supply inputs to or act on the output of generators, like writing a file or running a command.
Autonomous entities with triggers such as file changes or time intervals — for example an agent that runs tests and fixes failing code.
Free / Open-sourceDelivers exceptional open-weight reasoning performance at very low cost, but lacks BigModel's broad enterprise multi-modal agent building suite.
