ANN/CHINA DAILY – Chinese artificial intelligence startup Zhipu AI unveiled its latest foundational large language model-GLM4, as the company based in Beijing showcased the technological achievements it has achieved over the past three years.
GLM-4 exhibits a significant overall performance boost, approaching the capabilities of GPT-4, said Zhipu AI CEO Zhang Peng.
Notably, it supports extended contextual understanding, boasts enhanced multi-modal capabilities, and achieves faster inference speeds, enabling higher concurrency and substantial cost reductions in reasoning.
Additionally, the personalised intelligent agent customisation capabilities for GLMs are now live.Leveraging the robust capabilities of the GLM-4 model, users can create their own GLM intelligent agents with simple prompt commands, drastically reducing the entry barrier for large model utilisation, the company said.
Meanwhile, Zhipu AI announced that it has initiated an open-source fund for large language models.
This comprehensive initiative involves providing a thousand AI chip cards to the large language model open-source community, contributing CNY10 million (USD1.39 million) in cash to support open-source projects related to large language models.
Founded in 2019, Zhipu AI has received much attention in the past year. Last June, American technology media The Information listed Zhipu AI as one of the five Chinese companies most likely to become China’s OpenAI.
