BEIJING (Reuters) -Chinese AI startup Zhipu on Monday released open-source model GLM-4.5 designed for intelligent agent applications, a statement said, as it joins a wave of similar releases from local rivals in an increasingly competitive sector.
Zhipu, one of China's "AI tigers" backed by Chinese local governments, gained significant attention after OpenAI said in June that the U.S. company had observed notable progress by the Chinese startup in securing government contracts across several regions.
Zhipu's new model release adds to the growing pipeline of models from Chinese companies. As of July, China has already released 1,509 large-language models, ranking first among the 3,755 models released globally, according to a report from state-owned Xinhua news agency.
