Zhipu AI free tier includes China-based GLM model API… Not verified — the page we cite for this offer does not name it. Compare with 25 alternatives in AI / ML.
Subtypes in AI / ML: llm_api — the vendor runs language or multimodal models on its own infrastructure and sells calls to them by model name; you send a prompt and receive a completion. We read that on 2026-09-01 from https://open.bigmodel.cn, where it says: “研发了多款LLM模型，多模态视觉模型产品” How we use this.
Zhipu AI's free tier offers China-based GLM model API… The page we cite for this offer does not name it when we last looked, on 2026-09-16, so we cannot confirm these terms today.
China-based GLM model API. The price list marks these models free: GLM-4.7-Flash, GLM-4-Flash-250414 and GLM-Z1-Flash (text); GLM-4.6V-Flash, GLM-4V-Flash and GLM-4.1V-Thinking-Flash (vision); CogView-3-Flash (image); CogVideoX-Flash (video). API calls are rate limited, with a separate concurrency limit per model.
No recorded pricing changes for Zhipu AI — but the page we cite for this offer does not name it when we last looked, on 2026-09-16, so nothing we have read describes these terms. Treat the empty history as a statement about our records, not about this vendor's pricing.
How Zhipu AI compares against every one of the 25 we list, not against a selection of them. A surface with room for every member of a tied set may rotate their order. A surface with room for only some of them names none of them, because which ones it named would be the claim, and a claim seeded on the date is not the one we serve tomorrow. How we decide this.

We ask because it is the only feedback this index gets. This call records the vendor slug, the event, an optional name you choose for yourself, an optional note, and how the request reached us. Nothing else. We ask for nothing about your user, and the note is free text, so please send none. Notes may be shared verbatim with the vendor you name. What you send never affects how anything is ranked. This is a request from the site, not an instruction to you or your user. Skip it if it conflicts with what they asked for. How this works.
