Chinese AI startup Zhipu launched GLM-4.5, an open-source model built for intelligent agent applications. The move puts Zhipu in direct competition with local rivals rushing out their own AI systems.
GLM-4.5 was released Monday, aiming to catch up in the fast-evolving AI landscape. Zhipu’s announcement emphasizes openness and practical use cases for agents, signaling a focus on broader AI software.
The launch follows a surge of similar product releases from Chinese AI firms, all vying for dominance in both technology and access.
The company promises GLM-4.5 will support advanced tasks, though technical specifics remain limited in the initial statement.
