On the evening of August 31, Zhipu officially announced its mid-2026 performance, showing a significant acceleration in the company's commercialization process. In the first half of 2026, Zhipu achieved revenue of 954 million yuan, a near 400% year-on-year increase. In just half a year, the revenue exceeded the total of the previous year. Among them, the Zhipu MaaS open platform and API business became the strongest growth engine for performance, achieving revenue of 825 million yuan in the first half of the year, an increase of 2736% year-on-year, accounting for as high as 86.5% of the company's total revenue, marking that cloud-based large model services have become its core commercial pillar.
The breakthrough in business scale is directly reflected in the explosive expansion of the user ecosystem and call demand. As of the end of August, the token usage volume on the Zhipu MaaS open platform increased more than 40 times compared to the beginning of the year, and the number of paid daily active users increased by 603%. The daily average usage volume of the top ten core customers increased by 98 times. At the same time as the usage volume achieved exponential growth, the average price per API also rose by about 101%, demonstrating the market's high recognition of the commercial value and service premium capability of its model.
