At the recent Zhipei Open Platform Industrial Ecosystem Conference held in Shanghai, a major announcement was made in the field of artificial intelligence: Pudong Venture Capital Group and Zhangjiang Group jointly announced a strategic investment of up to 1 billion yuan in Zhipei, with the first installment already completed. This significant investment will provide strong momentum for Zhipei to build a reliable artificial intelligence infrastructure and accelerate its layout in the field of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
Zhipei CEO Zhang Peng detailed two latest achievements in the company's efforts to move toward AGI during his keynote speech at the conference. First, Zhipei open-sourced its new general vision-language model, GLM-4.1V-Thinking. This model features outstanding reasoning capabilities as its core breakthrough, successfully breaking through the performance limits of 10B-level multimodal models and demonstrating strong capabilities in visual understanding and language reasoning.
Second, Zhipei launched a new MaaS (Model as a Service) Agent aggregation platform called "Application Space." The platform aims to fully activate AI capabilities in various industry scenarios by aggregating and calling different Agents, providing enterprises and developers with more convenient and efficient AI application solutions. At the same time, to encourage the development of the Agent ecosystem, Zhipei will also work with the Z Fund to launch a special support program worth hundreds of millions of yuan to promote Agent pioneers, aiming to attract more developers and enterprises to engage in innovation and applications in the Agent field.
This strategic investment and the release of a series of innovative achievements not only highlight Zhipei's leading position and great potential in the field of artificial intelligence, but also indicate that it will take more solid steps in building a trustworthy AI infrastructure and promoting the development of AGI.
