TechFlow News, August 10. According to LatePost, Zhipu's MaaS open platform registered users (i.e., API users) have reached nearly 7 million, an increase of about 2 million compared to early July, including 23,000 enterprise customers; the developer product ZCode, benchmarked against Codex, surpassed 1 million users within 1 month of launch.

Since the beginning of this year, Zhipu's ARR has grown 15 times. According to sources, after the release of Kimi and Alibaba's new models, Zhipu's ARR growth rate remained unaffected. Some investors revealed that the current ARR has reached $2 billion, but Zhipu officials have denied this; people close to the company indicated that the actual figure should be higher.

On July 21, market rumors circulated that Zhipu has built domestic AI computing infrastructure with a scale of 1GW. According to sources, over 50,000 domestic computing chips have been activated to alleviate growing inference demand. On July 31, Zhipu's long-restricted Coding Plan was opened for purchase after a significant price increase.
