| Free tier | Two models are free on input, output and cache, with no token cap or expiry stated: the text model GLM-4.7-Flash (200K context) and the vision model GLM-4.6V-Flash. Concurrency per model is the only published constraint and the per-model figure sits behind a login unit unlimited; metered on none; perpetual free models; the login page advertises a new-user experience pack of 20 million tokens (2000万); its model scope, expiry and any real-name condition are unverified: behind a… |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Limits |
|
| Binding | request-rate concurrency per model and per user-rights tier; platform-level throttling can apply at peak load |
| Identity | any-phone registration accepts a non-mainland phone number: choose the country code and verify by SMS code. The FAQ states API calls do not require real-name authentication (it is recommended for account security, and is the route to an enterprise account); whether the API-key page asks for it is unverified: behind a sign-up |
| Egress | not published |
| Interface | rest |
| Tooling | not stated |
| Composes with | a free 200K-context text model and a free vision model are a zero-cost first pass in a two-stage pipeline; only the survivors go to a metered model |
| Reliability | not assessed: no request was sent to the endpoint |
| Notes | the international Z.ai site publishes its own free Flash models under a separate account system; this is the bigmodel.cn side |
| Evidence note | documented the free-model list is the pricing page's own FAQ answer and the authentication FAQ says API calls do not require real-name authentication; the per-model concurrency figure and the terms of the new-user pack are unverified: behind a sign-up |
