I couldn't find any article that states z.ai has a data center in Singapore. There are stories of their new 1 GW data center in China though. Also, openrouter lists HQs on their providers page which matches the regions. https://openrouter.ai/providers
Interesting. I wonder where they're getting their data from then, because they list Z.ai under Singapore, but everything I'm finding says they're based in Beijing. Same with MiniMax.
Many Chinese AI companies have their HQs in Singapore because of US sanctions. If I remember it correctly Manus is also based there. But it's a Chinese company through and through as we know from the events that unfolded after Meta's buyout attempt.
