Chinese artificial intelligence start-up Zhipu AI, marketed internationally as Z.ai, has seen the number of paid users overseas increase tenfold over the past two months, the head of its global operations said, in a sign of the growing appeal of Chinese AI services among global users<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Beijing-based company now has around 100,000 monthly API \u2013 or application programming interface \u2013 users, as well as 3 million free chatbot users overseas, following the launch of its flagship GLM-4.6 model, Li Zixuan said in an interview on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to grow in every market because growth overseas is exceeding growth domestically,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Launched in late September, GLM-4.6 was billed as the world\u2019s most powerful open model for coding and was quickly integrated into popular AI coding tools such as Anthropic-backed Claude Code.<\/p>\n

The model was a \u201cgame-changer\u201d for Zhipu\u2019s global business, said Li.<\/p>\n

According to Kilo Code<\/a>, another coding tool, GLM-4.6 saw the platform\u2019s fastest adoption ever due to its low cost compared with US counterparts, as token usage for the \u201cgood enough\u201d model increased 94 times in 12 days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chinese artificial intelligence start-up Zhipu AI, marketed internationally as Z.ai, has seen the number of paid users overseas…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":120625,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[220,218,219,576,72,114,113,240,61,60,166,43,387,10178,850,80,90,386],"class_list":["post-120624","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-asia","tag-business","tag-china","tag-economy","tag-hong-kong","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-lifestyle","tag-news","tag-opinion","tag-south-china-morning-post","tag-sport","tag-technology","tag-us","tag-world"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120624","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=120624"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120624\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/120625"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=120624"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=120624"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=120624"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
