ZhipuAI has developed the GLM series of open source LLMs that are some of the world’s best performing and capable models today. Portkey provides a robust and secure gateway to seamlessly integrate these LLMs into your applications in the familiar OpenAI spec with just 2 LOC change! With Portkey, you can leverage powerful features like fast AI gateway, caching, observability, prompt management, and more, while securely managing your LLM API keys through a virtual key system.
