Zcode trend

Is zcode still growing?

Yes. Google's weekly index for it is up +2,170% in a year, and still up +167% over the last 3 months. The rise is measured, not a one-week spike or a change in how Google counts, and Bing searches rose with it, each above what every other search on the same source did.

Each figure compares Google's weekly index at the end of the window with its start.

Google's index for it sat level for years and then jumped about 9.9× within the last one — the shape a change in Google's counting leaves — but a source outside Google rose with it, so the rise is confirmed: Bing searches (zcode (Bing, US)): 140 → 1,278 searches a month, +816% on the year against a library median of -5%.

Checked outside Google

A rise on Google alone can be a change in how Google counts. These rose with it, each against what every other search on the same source did:

• Bing searches rose too, by more than they did for the typical search we track there (their licence lets us name the source, not quote its numbers).

About this search

ZCode refers to an open-source AI programming workbench published by Z.ai (zai-org) on GitHub, described as a coding agent harness that runs as a desktop app, in the browser and in the terminal. People search it to download it for their operating system, to log in, and to compare it with Claude Code and OpenCode. In practice it is used by developers who want an agent that edits and runs code locally, typically with Z.ai's GLM models behind it. Its Apache 2.0 licence and fast-growing star count drive the interest. The commercial angle is the crowded coding-agent tool market rather than ZCode itself.
