Original titlezai earnings transcript was a really good read, a list of interesting points (mostly verbatim from the transcript):
AISummary
Zhipu (Z.ai) reported first-half 2026 revenue of US$142 million, up nearly 400% year on year, driven mainly by its open platform and API business.
As of end-August 2026, ARR reached US$1.6 billion, and gross margin for the platform and API business rose from negative 0.4% to 24.6%.
The company also said its platform had over 7.4 million registered users and that GLM-5.3's gains came partly from a several-dozen-fold expansion in data environments.
