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

BEIJING (Reuters) -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.
