Hangzhou has rolled out a "citywide Coding Plan" that subsidizes Zhipu's GLM Coding Plan for eligible workers in the city, students at Hangzhou universities, and companies in Shangcheng District. For individuals, the combined subsidy reaches 44% for quarterly plans and 51% for annual plans, bringing the annual package down to roughly 49% of the original price. BlockBeats cited the Pro version as an example: the annual plan drops from 6,456 yuan to 3,163.44 yuan, while the Lite version falls from 1,416 yuan to 693.84 yuan. Each person can claim the subsidy only once and must choose either a quarterly or annual plan, with the program ending once the total subsidy pool is exhausted. Workers need to submit Hangzhou social security proof, while students must provide enrollment documentation from a Hangzhou university. Corporate support is higher but limited to companies in Hangzhou's Shangcheng District. The team annual plan receives a 55% combined subsidy, and support for a single company is capped in principle at 1 million yuan. Companies that already bought team packages can also apply for subsidies for additional seats. Official materials said the funding comes from "government subsidies, corporate concessions, and market participation."
Hangzhou has launched a "citywide Coding Plan" to subsidize Zhipu's GLM Coding Plan for workers in Hangzhou, students at Hangzhou universities, and companies in Shangcheng District.
For individuals, the combined subsidy is 44% for quarterly plans and 51% for annual plans, which puts the annual package at about 49% of the listed price. Using the Pro version as an example, the annual plan falls from 6,456 yuan to 3,163.44 yuan. The Lite version drops from 1,416 yuan to 693.84 yuan.
Each person can use the subsidy only once and must choose either a quarterly plan or an annual plan. The offer ends when the total subsidy amount is used up. Workers are required to submit Hangzhou social security proof, while students need to provide enrollment records from a Hangzhou university.
Corporate subsidies are higher, but they are available only to companies in Hangzhou's Shangcheng District. The team annual plan carries a 55% combined subsidy, and support for a single company is capped in principle at 1 million yuan. Companies that have already purchased team packages can also apply for subsidies for newly added seats.
BlockBeats said this differs from a standard vendor promotion because official materials explicitly state that the funding comes from "government subsidies, corporate concessions, and market participation." The outlet added that AI coding tools are starting to be treated by local governments as productivity infrastructure for developers.
