Methodology

## What this measures

The percentage of all spend routed through Vercel's AI Gateway on a given day that went to models made by Z.ai, including its GLM family. Spend measures dollars paid for a lab's models through the gateway. It shows where the money goes, which is not always where the volume goes.

## Why it matters

Gateway share is a direct read of developer demand: which models teams actually put into production and pay for, day by day. It moves with model releases, price changes and outages.

## How to read it

Higher means a larger share of gateway traffic. Shares across all labs sum to 100% each day. A new model release often shows as a step within days.

## What it does not say

It is the traffic of Vercel's AI Gateway customers, not the whole AI market. Vercel publishes shares, never volumes, so a rising share can mean one lab grew or the others shrank. A single large customer can move a day's share by several points; read the trend over weeks, not one day. Direct API traffic to the labs, and other gateways, are not included.
