Getting Started

Installation

pip install zhipuai

Python Example

from zhipuai import ZhipuAI

client = ZhipuAI(api_key="your_api_key")

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="glm-4.7",
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "Explain quantum computing in simple terms"
        }
    ],
    temperature=0.7,
    max_tokens=1000
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)
