Zhipu AI Provider - Vercel AI SDK Community Provider

This is a Zhipu (Z.ai) prodiver for the Vercel AI SDK. It enables seamless integration with Language (GLM), Embedding and Image Models provided on bigmodel.cn or z.ai by ZhipuAI.

Setup

Set up your .env file / environment with your API key.

Provider Instance

You can import the default provider instance zhipu from zhipu-ai-provider (This automatically reads the API key from the environment variable ZHIPU_API_KEY):

Alternatively, you can create a provider instance with custom configuration with createZhipu:

You can use the following optional settings to customize the Zhipu provider instance: • baseURL: *string* • Use a different URL prefix for API calls, e.g. to use proxy servers. The default prefix is https://open.bigmodel.cn/api/paas/v4. • apiKey: *string* • Your API key for Zhipu BigModel Platform. If not provided, the provider will attempt to read the API key from the environment variable ZHIPU_API_KEY. • headers: *Record* • Custom headers to include in the requests.
