Z.AI

Z.AI

Z.AI is the API platform for GLM models. It provides REST APIs for GLM and uses API keys for authentication. Create your API key in the Z.AI console. BuilderForce Agents uses the zai provider with a Z.AI API key.

CLI setup

builderforce onboard --auth-choice zai-api-key
# or non-interactive
builderforce onboard --zai-api-key "$ZAI_API_KEY"

Config snippet

{
  env: { ZAI_API_KEY: "sk-..." },
  agents: { defaults: { model: { primary: "zai/glm-5" } } },
}

Notes

• GLM models are available as zai/<model> (example: zai/glm-5).
• tool_stream is enabled by default for Z.AI tool-call streaming. Set agents.defaults.models["zai/<model>"].params.tool_stream to false to disable it.
• See /providers/glm for the model family overview.
• Z.AI uses Bearer auth with your API key.
