Zcode removes controversial cloud data and offers users reset cards and 100 million tokens

On September 28, 2026, ZCode, a product of Zhipu AI, announced that it had removed the controversial cloud data linked to the recent controversy over alleged code leaks. The company also stated that it had updated its open-source version to 3.14.3, ensuring that data is not uploaded to the cloud unless explicitly requested by users. In addition, ZCode offered 4 weekly reset cards and 4 five-hour reset cards to users, valid within one month. During the period from September 28 to October 7, the company distributed 100,000 free 100 million token allocations to all users. Zhipu AI acknowledged that the issue stemmed from the 'code repository indexing' feature, which inadvertently triggered data uploads during the creation of Repo Wiki pages. The company emphasized that uploaded data is immediately deleted and that the feature was initially enabled by default, affecting some users.
