Who searches for it, and why
GLM is an ambiguous abbreviation; in this library it refers mainly to the GLM family of large language models from Zhipu AI, now Z.ai, a Chinese lab whose open-weight models compete with DeepSeek and Qwen for coding and agent tasks. GLM also means a generalised linear model in statistics, and names companies and products. In practice, the AI meaning draws developers looking for cheap, capable models and coding plans. New releases lift interest. Strong open models lower costs for products built on them, though the models themselves are commodity inputs.
