On February 12th, Zhipu's AI programming subscription package GLM Coding Plan sold out quickly, demonstrating the market vitality of China's domestically developed AI programming models. The performance of GLM-5 approaches that of top international models, yet its price is lower than in the United States. Similarly, Kimi K2.5 topped the charts on the OpenClaw platform within a week, showing that domestic large models have advantages in both price and performance, thereby increasing user retention.

On February 12th, the AI programming subscription plan GLM Coding Plan under Zhipu was sold out immediately upon launch. The paid Chinese domestic AI programming models were snapped up, which is quite rare in the industry. The GLM-5 programming and Agent capabilities approach top international closed-source models, while being open source and significantly cheaper. Previously, it was limited in sales multiple times due to a surge in users, and there have been phases of computational power shortages. The token price of Chinese domestic large models is only a fraction of that in the US. On the OpenRouter global large model API aggregation platform OpenClaw, recent rankings show Kimi K2.5 topping the charts in just one week, surpassing giants like CEX and Claude. Domestic large models are leveraging low prices as a trigger, combined with high performance to retain users, bringing a price and performance double advantage to the AI market.
