[Zhipu API Price Doubles Yet Usage Soars: Call Volume Up 40x, Major Clients Up 98x] Beating AI Newsflash: Over the past six months, Zhipu has not only seen a surge in API revenue but also significant growth in call volume and business efficiency. As of the financial report release, the Token call volume on the MaaS platform has increased by more than 40 times compared to the beginning of the year, with paid daily active users up by 603%. Among them, the daily average call volume of the top 10 clients has grown by an astonishing 98 times. Moreover, this wave of growth was not driven by price cuts. In fact, the average price of Zhipu's API rose by approximately 101% year-on-year in the first half of the year, and the subscription price for the Coding Plan was also increased. With both volume and price rising, the revenue from the open platform and API reached 825 million yuan, a year-on-year growth of 2735.7%. Zhipu also disclosed a custom metric in its financial report called the 'Computing Power Multiplier,' which measures how much API revenue can be generated for every 1 yuan invested in computing power costs. In the first half of the year, this metric improved by approximately 14 times year-on-year. Simply put, Zhipu not only sold more Tokens but also significantly increased the revenue generated per unit of computing power compared to a year ago. [Original Link]
