Z.ai, the overseas brand of Chinese AI model developer Zhipu, has opened the company’s first official store on Tmall, bringing paid AI services to a mainstream e-commerce platform. Users can search for “Zhipu Flagship Store” on Taobao and purchase the company’s Coding Plan subscriptions through the platform’s standard checkout process.
The store currently offers Lite, Pro and Max plans for individual users. The move gives consumers a more familiar way to purchase AI subscriptions and usage credits, while Zhipu said the plans may be discounted during major shopping events. [TechNode reporting]
