Output tokens cost $3.94 per million on GLM 5.2 and $4.40 per million on O3 Mini. Input tokens cost $1.13 per million on GLM 5.2 and $1.10 per million on O3 Mini. Cached input tokens are billed at $0.28 per million on GLM 5.2 and $0.55 per million on O3 Mini. Context lengths are 1,000,000 tokens on GLM 5.2 and 200,000 tokens on O3 Mini. Time to first token (TTFT) measured on AIHubMix is 0.6s on GLM 5.2 and 10.9s on O3 Mini. Measured output throughput is 47.3 tok/s on GLM 5.2 and 474.2 tok/s on O3 Mini. On the LMArena coding leaderboard GLM 5.2 scores 1505 and O3 Mini scores 1416.
GLM 5.2
O3 MiniGLM-5.2 is Z.ai’s flagship model for the era of long-horizon tasks. With a truly usable 1M-token context window, it can handle project-level engineering context, execute long-running tasks more reliably, follow engineering standards more consistently, and complete the full development workflow from requirements to multi-platform deployment in a single task.
OpenAI's latest fast inference model excels at STEAM tasks and offers exceptional cost-effectiveness. Official support for cache hits reduces input prices by half.
Prices are per million tokens. Time to First Token and throughput are rolling averages measured on AIHubMix.
Promotional prices show the discounted rate; see each model page for promotion windows.
Daily traffic served through AIHubMix — how demand for each model is trending.
Measured on real AIHubMix traffic, hourly buckets. Gaps mean no traffic in that hour.

GLM 5.2 accepts 1,000,000 and O3 Mini accepts 200,000 input tokens. Maximum output per request is 128,000 tokens on GLM 5.2 and 100,000 tokens on O3 Mini.
O3 Mini at 474.2 tok/s and GLM 5.2 at 47.3 tok/s, measured as output throughput on AIHubMix — a separate metric from time to first token.
GLM 5.2 accepts text input and supports thinking, tool calling, function calling and structured outputs; O3 Mini accepts text and image input and supports thinking.
Yes. AIHubMix serves every model on this page behind one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, so switching between them is a one-line change to the model field — no second account, key or SDK.
