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 data infrastructure where people own and authorize the data behind AI
People collect data from services they already use through open-source connectors, and that data stays on their own device or encrypted storage they control.
A locally running access engine encrypts data and releases it only against a valid on-chain permission, with every read written to a reviewable access log.
Install @opendatalabs/vana-sdk to request user-approved data, read it from a Personal Server, and settle protocol fees from an app escrow balance.
Groups pool data for privacy-preserving compute jobs, so contributions can be used by AI without exposing raw records.
