Zhipu AI (智谱AI, now also branded as Z.ai) is a Beijing-based Chinese AI company that develops and commercializes large language and multimodal AI foundation models under the GLM family, offering APIs, agentic products (such as AutoGLM), and developer tools to enterprise customers and consumers across industries. Rooted in Tsinghua University research, it is one of China's leading AGI-focused AI labs, competing with Baidu, Alibaba, and DeepSeek.
“Zhipu actually started on agent, especially this kind of computer use agent, quite early — the AutoGLM series. We have some connection because I've known Tang Jie (their lead researcher) for many years... we did a work together called AgentBench, which is one of the earliest agent benchmarks.”
