The price of using artificial intelligence is falling.

Much of the optimism behind US AI stocks rests on the assumption that users will keep paying for incremental performance gains. 

But as differences narrow, the price of AI may soon be set by the cheapest model that is good enough.

Zhipu (branded internationally as Z.ai) is a leading Chinese artificial intelligence company focused on large language models (LLMs) and related agent technologies. It is regarded as one of China’s main “AI tigers,” a group of startups developing frontier models to compete with firms like OpenAI and Anthropic.
