# GLM Models
GLM is a **model family** developed by Zhipu AI. GLM models are available through two platforms:
- **Z.AI** (api.z.ai) - International platform
- **Zhipu AI** (bigmodel.cn) - China mainland platform
## Provider Options
| Provider | Platform | Use Case |
|----------|----------|----------|
| `zai` | Z.AI (International) | Pay-as-you-go |
| `zai-coding` | Z.AI (International) | Coding Plan subscription |
| `zhipu` | Zhipu AI (China) | Pay-as-you-go |
| `zhipu-coding` | Zhipu AI (China) | Coding Plan subscription |
## CLI Setup
```bash
# International users
moltbot onboard --auth-choice zai-api-key
# China users
moltbot onboard --auth-choice zhipu-api-key
```
## Config Snippet
```json5
{
env: { ZAI_API_KEY: "sk-..." },
agents: { defaults: { model: { primary: "zai/glm-4.7" } } }
}
```
## Available Models
- `glm-4.7` - Latest flagship model (205K context)
- `glm-4.6` - Previous generation (205K context)
- `glm-4.6v` - Vision model (128K context)
- `glm-4.5` - Balanced performance (131K context)
- `glm-4.5-air` - Lighter variant (131K context)
- `glm-4.5-flash` - Faster variant (131K context)
Model availability may vary by region; check the platform docs for the latest.
## Notes
- Model IDs follow the pattern `{provider}/glm-{version}` (e.g., `zai/glm-4.7`, `zhipu/glm-4.7`)
