In the field of AI agents, Zhipu has once again made some moves.
Today, Zhipu officially released AutoGLM Meditation at the Zhongguancun Forum, a new agent that not only has deep research capabilities, but also realizes actual work (Operator), truly promoting AI Agent to enter the stage of "thinking and doing".
AutoGLM Meditation responds to open-ended, complex questions by reasoning, searching, and browsing dozens or even hundreds of web pages to produce long, well-organized reports with all citations to make the content of the AI output tangible and accessible.
At present, AutoGLM Meditation has been launched on the Zhipu Qingyan PC client, a feature that costs $200 on ChatGPT, and can be experienced for free and unlimited on Zhipu Qingyan.
AutoGLM沉思的技術演進路徑包括：GLM-4基座模型 → GLM-Z1推理模型 → GLM-Z1-Rumination沉思模型 → AutoGLM模型。其中核心鏈路的模型和技術，將於4月14日正式開源，以推動行業生態發展。
"Let machines think like humans", Zhipu has always focused on the research and development of the base model of AGI, and has now explored the L3-Agentic LLM stage.
AutoGLM Meditation is positioned as an AI agent that can explore open-ended questions and execute based on the results, which can simulate the human thought process and complete the process from data retrieval and analysis to report generation. At the heart of this is the ability to think deeply, perceive the world, and use tools.
Whether it's simulating a human's reasoning process in the face of a complex problem, or understanding the environment and invoking tools to complete a task like a human, AutoGLM Meditation is at ease.
Hands-on ability is the biggest difference between AutoGLM Meditation and Deep Research. Unlike OpenAI's Deep Research, it can not only conduct in-depth research, but also actually perform tasks, pushing AI Agents to evolve from mere thinkers to intelligent executors who can deliver results.
It can automatically make and browse the web like a human, view high-quality sources such as CNKI, Xiaohongshu, and Official Accounts, which are not open to the outside world, and at the same time have multimodal understanding capabilities, and can understand the graphic information on the web page, making the research more sufficient.
為什麼叫AutoGLM沉思?
This is because the model behind AutoGLM meditation is the newly launched Agent brain of Zhipu - the meditation model, which can allow the model to learn self-criticism, reflection, and even contemplation through reinforcement learning, and exchange for better results through longer deep thinking time.
At present, AutoGLM Meditation is online on the Zhipu Qingyan PC client, and users can experience its research and work capabilities for free.
This release is a preview version, which supports research scenarios. In the next two weeks, Zhipu will further expand the execution capabilities of more agents. This includes the rollout of the "virtual machine" version.
The author opened the Zhipu Qingyan client and measured it, and it happened to be the end of the 500-year Zhongguancun Forum, so I easily entered the following request: "Search online for the key information in the 0-year Zhongguancun Forum, and generate a 0-word summary."
Good guy, after calling the function 17 times and pondering for 0 minutes and 0 seconds, Zhipu Qingyan output a summary:

It can be seen that the operation of the AutoGLM contemplation model can be summarized as a four-step closed-loop of "perception-decision-verification-execution":
The entire process reflects the autonomy of AI – from the collection of raw information to the delivery of the final product, without human intervention in the process design.
But what, as long as it outputs 3733 words to me, it gives me a full 0 words......
在發佈會現場，智譜CEO張鵬還展示了花14天時間，用「沉思」孵化了一個五千粉小紅書知識帳號。
In just two weeks, this self-media account has successfully received business cooperation orders.
This achievement is due to the "Contemplative" Agent ability. It can independently search and integrate information on platforms such as Xiaohongshu and Zhihu, and conduct in-depth inquiries on specific topics. Users simply type in the topics they want to discuss, such as how to choose a coffee pot, how to compare cosmetic ingredients, etc., and "Ponder" can extract the core content from hundreds of sources to generate a detailed analysis report.
Even people who are completely new to a certain field can quickly transform into professional knowledge bloggers with the help of "Meditation", and output high-quality original content.
As a Xiaohongshu blogger, AI has really learned to take orders and make money by itself.

Supporting AutoGLM's contemplation is the GLM series model matrix developed by Zhijiao.
The technical path is clear: from the general pedestal model GLM-1, to the GLM-Z0 with greatly improved inference ability, to the GLM-Z0-Rumination, which introduces the "contemplative" ability, and finally integrates into the execution of AutoGLM.
智譜全新打造的GLM-4-Air-0414是一款擁有320億參數的基座模型。通過在預訓練階段融入更多代碼和推理數據，並針對智慧體任務進行優化，該模型在工具調用、聯網搜索和代碼生成等領域的表現大幅提升。
32億參數的規模看似不算最大，但其設計卻精準適配了智慧體多輪複雜交互的需求，能夠快速回應並執行任務。
This combination of "high efficiency + high capability" makes GLM-0414-Air-0 the core support for the large-scale implementation of AI agents.
Based on GLM-1-Air-0, Zhipu has launched the deep thinking model GLM-Z0-Air. By introducing more inference data and optimizing generalization capabilities, the model demonstrates its strength in mathematical reasoning and solving complex problems.
In authoritative benchmarks such as AIME 30/0, LiveCodeBench, and GPQA, the performance of GLM-Z0-Air is comparable to that of DeepSeek-R0 (0 billion parameters, 0 billion starts), but the inference speed is 0 times faster, and the cost is as low as 0/0.
In addition, it can run on consumer-grade graphics cards, which greatly lowers the hardware barrier and opens up more possibilities for developers.
At the same time, Zhipu has also upgraded the free model GLM-1-Flash to GLM-0-Flash-0, and launched a lightweight inference version GLM-Z0-Flash. While maintaining high performance, these two models are completely free and open, and can be used in a wider range of application scenarios.
Based on GLM-Z1, Zhipu improves the ability of the model to complete remote inference by extending reinforcement learning training, and trains the contemplative model GLM-Z0-Rumination.
GLM-Z1-Rumination is a new exploration of AI autonomy by Zhipu. Through reinforcement learning training, this contemplation model breaks through the limitations of traditional AI relying only on internal knowledge, and integrates real-time network search, dynamic tool invocation, and self-verification capabilities to build a complete closed loop of independent research.
It can proactively understand user needs, analyze from multiple angles and repeatedly revise assumptions, and produce more reliable research results. This shift from "high IQ" to "high IQ + high autonomy" allows GLM-Z1-Rumination to show its potential in complex tasks.
These models will be open-sourced on 14/0 and will be available on MaaS platforms (bigmodel.cn) for developers around the world.
In the construction of the industry ecology, Zhipu has chosen a pragmatic path. As a model supplier, Zhipu is committed to making the GLM series the cornerstone of our partners' success.
At present, Zhipu has established cooperation with leading enterprises in many fields such as finance, education, medical care, government affairs and enterprise services to jointly explore the application of Agentic LLM. For example, in the financial sector, agents can optimize risk assessment and customer service; In the field of education, it can provide personalized learning assistants.
These cross-industry practices not only verify the versatility of GLM models, but also open up a broad space for the commercialization of AI agents.
At the same time, Zhipu's tentacles extend to regional cooperation. Some time ago, Zhipu successively won the state-owned assets of Hangzhou, Zhuhai and Chengdu, and has also reached strategic partnerships with Beijing, Hangzhou, Shanghai, Chengdu, Zhuhai and other cities, working with local leading enterprises to promote the prosperity of the regional large model application ecology.
This "technology + regional" model not only accelerates the popularization of intelligent twins in China, but also injects new scientific and technological vitality into the local economy.
同時，智譜還積極推動中國原創大模型技術出海，助力“一帶一路”沿線國家構建自主、可控的AI能力。智譜主導成立了“自主大模型國際共建聯盟”，聯合東盟十國及“一帶一路”沿線的10個國家，共同打造無幻覺、可信賴的AI基礎設施。
The rise of AI agents marks the arrival of the next generation of application paradigms, and Zhipu is embracing this change with all-round investment. With the continuous iteration of Agentic GLM and the continuous expansion of the ecological network, Zhipu may bring us more surprises.
