According to reports, the U.S. Department of Commerce has added Zhipu AI to its entity list for export controls, accusing it of promoting China's military modernization and infringing on U.S. national security and diplomatic interests. ** This decision makes Zhipu AI the first Chinese large model company to be added to the U.S. entity list, marking a new round of suppression by the U.S. on China's artificial intelligence industry. Zhipu AI subsequently issued a statement emphasizing that the company is based on technology transfer from Tsinghua University and provided a detailed review of its technological development history. Zhipu AI started developing the GLM pre-training architecture in 2020 and launched it in 2022.

Zhipu AI unveiled its third generation foundation model ChatGLM3 at the 2023 China Computer Conference. ChatGLM3 features new capabilities including multimodal understanding, code generation and execution, and enhanced web search. After deep optimization, ChatGLM3 has excelled in tests on Chinese and English public datasets. Zhipu Qingyan becomes the first large model product in China with code interaction capability. Zhipu AI looks forward to domestic native large models and domestic chips standing out on the international stage.

The founding team of Zhihui comes from Tsinghua University and has strong technical expertise. Zhihui has quickly responded in the field of large models, successively launching models like GLM and ChatGLM. The performance of Zhihui's models can compete with the GPT series models under OpenAI. Zhihui has launched a full range of products from software to hardware, achieving end-to-end autonomy and control. Zhihui is currently integrating capital and technology to enhance the capabilities of its models.
