## API Endpoints Tested
61+
62+
| Endpoint | Status | Error |
63+
|----------|--------|-------|
64+
| `open.bigmodel.cn/api/paas/v4/` | ❌ Failed | HTTP 400 |
65+
| `bigmodel.cn/api/paas/v4/` | ❌ Failed | Connection |
66+
| `api.z.ai/api/paas/v4/` | ❌ Failed | HTTP 400 |
67+
68+
**Error Code 1211:** "Unknown Model, please check the model code"
69+
70+
### Possible Causes:
71+
1. API key expired or invalid
72+
2. Key doesn't have model access
73+
3. Account needs verification
74+
4. Region restriction (China-only)

## Recommendations
112+
113+
### For Production Now:
114+
**Use Groq** — Working, fast (227 tok/s), FREE tier
115+
116+
### For Future Zhipu Testing:
117+
1. Get new API key from https://open.bigmodel.cn
118+
2. Verify account (may require Chinese phone)
119+
3. Check model access permissions
120+
4. Try official Python SDK: `pip install zhipuai`
121+

## Conclusion
125+
126+
| Provider | Verdict |
127+
|----------|---------|
128+
| **Groq** | ✅ RECOMMENDED — 10/10 tests passed, 227 tok/s |
129+
| Zhipu | ⚠️ BLOCKED — API authentication failed |
130+
131+
Groq provides superior speed (227 tok/s vs ~100 tok/s estimated) with working FREE tier. Zhipu GLM-4.7 has larger context (200K vs 128K) and native Chinese support, but requires valid API access.
