Z.ai models and prices

12 models, 12 with a published price , 10 with open weights · released 2025-07-25 to 2026-06-16.

Z.ai does not sell these models — every price here is a host's price

That is the normal shape for a lab that publishes weights instead of selling inference: the model is theirs, the price is somebody else's. It also means there is no single official price to quote, only a market of hosts.

Open weights from Z.ai

Parameter counts are computed from the published weight files, and licences are what the authors attached — both from the weights registry rather than from any seller. Licence class decides whether you can self-host commercially without signing something.

One API for every Z.ai model

VernaOne fronts the sellers on this page behind a single interface, so switching model or host is a config change — with automatic fallback if quality or latency regresses.

Frequently asked

How many models does Z.ai have?

We track 12 Z.ai models across 1 category, 12 of them with a published price. The list is rebuilt from provider APIs, the vendor's own docs and the weights registry rather than maintained by hand, so new releases appear without us writing about them.

Can I buy Z.ai models directly from Z.ai?

Not for the models on this page. Every price we hold for Z.ai comes from a third-party host, which is what you would expect from a lab that publishes weights rather than selling inference.

Are Z.ai models open weights?

10 of 12 have a public weights repository. Licence mix: 10 open weights permissive. Licence class decides whether you can self-host commercially without a separate agreement, so check the model page before planning a deployment.
