 # Skill: AI Provider - z.ai
 
 ## Description
-Fallback AI provider with GLM (General Language Model) support. Use when synthetic.new is unavailable or when GLM models are superior for specific tasks.
+Fallback AI provider with GLM (General Language Model) support from Zhipu AI. Use when synthetic.new is unavailable or when GLM models are superior for specific tasks.
 
 ## Status
 **FALLBACK** - Use when:
 1. synthetic.new rate limits or errors
 2. GLM models outperform alternatives for the task
 3. New models available earlier on z.ai
+4. Extended context (200K+) needed
+5. Vision/multimodal tasks required
 
 ## Configuration
 ```yaml
-provider: z.ai
-base_url: https://api.z.ai/v1
+provider: z.ai (Zhipu AI / BigModel)
+base_url: https://open.bigmodel.cn/api/paas/v4
 api_key_env: Z_AI_API_KEY
 compatibility: openai
 rate_limit: 60 requests/minute
 ```
 
-**Note:** API key needs to be configured. Check z.ai dashboard for key generation.
+**API Key configured:** `Z_AI_API_KEY` in environment variables.
