GLM-5.3 now available on aws bedrock, opening revenue streams for Zhipu AI

On October 6, 2026, Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced the integration of Zhipu AI's GLM-5.3 model into its Amazon Bedrock platform, marking the start of a revenue-sharing agreement between the two companies. This move follows Zhipu AI's recent collaborations with several international cloud providers, aiming to expand its global revenue streams. The company also signed similar agreements with domestic cloud platforms like Alibaba Cloud and Huawei Cloud, establishing a unified revenue-sharing model across borders. Zhipu AI reported a 399.7% increase in its first-half 2026 revenue, reaching 9.54 billion yuan, despite a 20.71 billion yuan net loss, which represents a 12.1% reduction in losses compared to the previous year. In September 2026, Zhipu AI secured approximately 50 billion USD in funding, which will be used to develop the next generation of GLM models and enhance its fully self-training system.
