Zhipu AI / Z.ai
GLM language and realtime models, CogView and CogVideo generation, embeddings and retrieval services from Zhipu AI.
13 reviewed native API and managed model records. Zhipu AI / Z.ai native BigModel API and managed knowledge models. Public-weight releases, uncertain hosted-to-weight mappings and third-party Vidu models are not classified as additional closed-weight releases. Coverage remains incomplete.
Start with the job your model needs to do. Then narrow by capabilities, provider and price.
Compare every model with the same request.
Estimate = (input tokens × input price + output tokens × output price) / 1,000,000. Include conversation history in input and billed reasoning in output. Input-only decision models ignore the output setting; enter all billed input for one decision, including its question and criteria. Media, tools and discounts are separate.
