China's AI startup Zhipu offers plan for Claude AI users to migrate to its own model

Chinese AI startup Zhipu said on Friday it will help users of Anthropic's Claude AI services migrate to its own GLM-4.5 model, following a report that Anthropic will bar Chinese-run entities from using its AI services.

Zhipu, in a post on its WeChat account, said that Claude application programming interface (API) users can gain access to the GLM-4.5 model by replacing the API URL.

The company is also offering new users 20 million free tokens, and a coding package for developers it says costs one-seventh of Claude's while offering three times the usage.
