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.
Search, discovery and RAG infrastructure for your product
Combine keyword and vector search so results stay relevant for both exact queries and semantic intent.
Manage documents, chunking and embeddings within the platform instead of building a pipeline from scratch.
Add retrieval-augmented chat over your own content for assistants and knowledge bases.
Inspect search quality with analytics, then tune ranking and relevance based on real queries.
