About us

With the mission of 'Teach machines to think like humans, benefit humanity with reliable AI', Zhipu is committed to pioneering the next generation of cognitive intelligence models, with a strong focus on innovation in China. At the end of 2020, we developed the GLM pre-training framework and successfully trained the 10-billion parameter model GLM-10B in 2021. That same year, we achieved a breakthrough by training a trillion-parameter sparse model using the MoE architecture. In 2022, we developed and open-sourced GLM-130B, a bilingual (English and Chinese) pre-trained model with 130 billion parameters. By 2023, Zhipu AI launched the 100-billion-parameter ChatGLM, a foundational conversational model, which saw two major upgrades. The open-source version, ChatGLM-6B, enabled local fine-tuning and deployment for developers, gaining widespread acclaim in the open-source community. To date, Zhipu AI’s open-source model series has surpassed 40 million global downloads and has been recognized as one of the top 15 most popular AI organizations on Hugging Face.
