[ZCode Faces Scrutiny for 'Dual Versions' Right After Open-Sourcing, Community Questions If Zhipu Is Using Open Source as PR] Beating AI Newsflash: Zhipu recently open-sourced ZCode under the Apache 2.0 license, but developers quickly discovered that the 'open-source version' on GitHub is not entirely consistent with the version available for download on the official website. Comments in the source code explicitly state that the open-source version does not enjoy quota-related benefits. While the upgrade option is still present, it does not display promotional labels or rules. The repository's NOTICE.md also clearly states that the publicly available source code and its build artifacts do not guarantee inclusion of all features and promotional policies of the official product. Meanwhile, the official website continues to provide a separate download link for the ZCode client. It’s not unusual for the open-source version to lack certain commercial features. However, the purpose of ZCode’s open-sourcing was to address previous concerns about data security and allow external parties to review the code. Since the official website version and the open-source version are not identical, which version of ZCode is actually being scrutinized by the public? Some developers have thus questioned whether this is more of a 'PR-driven open source' move. [Original Article Link]
