zai-glm-4.7 — Free API

What is zai-glm-4.7?

GLM-4.7 is Z.AI's (Zhipu AI) latest-generation bilingual model, offered free through Cerebras Cloud on its WSE inference hardware. With 128K context, OpenAI-compatible API, and no credit card requirement, it is a strong choice for developers who need Chinese-English bilingual performance or want an alternative to the Llama/Qwen families. The free tier is more constrained than some Cerebras endpoints — 100 requests per day at 10 RPM with a 1M token daily cap — so it is best used for evaluation, comparison testing, or low-volume bilingual tasks rather than continuous production traffic.
