Sign up for 光谱汇深, open the API Keys page in your dashboard, and create a key. The same key works for the Zhipu AI GLM API and every other model on the platform, with pay-as-you-go billing and no subscription.
Call 光谱汇深's OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions endpoint with your 光谱汇深 API key and set model to glm-5.3 or glm-5.3-flash. The rest of the GLM 5 API lineup (glm-5, glm-5.1 and glm-5.2) uses the same request format, so switching only means changing the model ID. Parameters and code examples are in the 光谱汇深 docs (docs.callhub.cn).
