Questions

GLM-Image, answered

What is GLM-Image?
GLM-Image is an image model from Zhipu AI. Images with accurate text and rich detail. It is new on Leap and in preview: it works, and it may still change. On Leap it runs in one studio beside every other top model, with one account.
What resolution and sizes does it make?
1:1, 3:4, 9:16, 4:3 or 16:9.
How much does a run cost?
An image costs $0.068. You see the exact price before you press go, and a run that fails costs nothing.
Is GLM-Image free to try?
No. There is no free credit: you add credit from $5, and your first top-up has no card fee. The cheapest run is $0.068 (an image), so $5 covers 73 of those. You pay per run, in dollars, with no subscription.
Can I use what I make commercially?
Yes. You own what you make on Leap, so you can use it commercially, and we never train AI on it. The people and brands shown in a result can still have rights in it; the Terms say more.
Is there an API?
Yes. Leap's REST API runs it as zhipu/glm-image, at the same price per run as the studio, and agents can call it through Leap's MCP server. The request is at the bottom of this page.
Do I need a Zhipu AI account?
No. Leap sends your request to Zhipu AI's model and gives you what it makes. One Leap account runs GLM-Image and every other model, in the studio, through the API and from your agents.

Your idea, GLM-Image.

Every run shows its price before it starts, and one that fails costs nothing.

The request

The same envelope for every model; only the model and its input change. With prefer: wait=60 the answer holds the result when the run finishes within a minute; a longer one is read again by its ID. Agents can call it through the MCP server at app.tryleap.ai/api/mcp.
