Output tokens cost $3.94 per million on GLM 5.2 and $1.01 per million on Qwen3.6 Flash. Input tokens cost $1.13 per million on GLM 5.2 and $0.17 per million on Qwen3.6 Flash. Cached input tokens are billed at $0.28 per million on GLM 5.2 and $0.02 per million on Qwen3.6 Flash. Context lengths are 1,000,000 tokens on GLM 5.2 and 991,000 tokens on Qwen3.6 Flash. Time to first token (TTFT) measured on AIHubMix is 1.1s on GLM 5.2 and 0.8s on Qwen3.6 Flash. Measured output throughput is 37.9 tok/s on GLM 5.2 and 136.8 tok/s on Qwen3.6 Flash.
GLM 5.2
Qwen3.6 FlashGLM-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.
Qwen 3.6, the native vision-language Plus series model, demonstrates outstanding performance comparable to the current top cutting-edge models, with a significant improvement over the 3.5 series. The model's capabilities have been markedly enhanced in Agentic coding, front-end programming, Vibe coding and other coding abilities, universal multimodal recognition, OCR, object localization, and more.
Prices are per million tokens. Time to First Token and throughput are rolling averages measured on AIHubMix.

GLM 5.2 accepts 1,000,000 and Qwen3.6 Flash accepts 991,000 input tokens. Maximum output per request is 128,000 tokens on GLM 5.2 and 64,000 tokens on Qwen3.6 Flash.
Qwen3.6 Flash at 136.8 tok/s and GLM 5.2 at 37.9 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; Qwen3.6 Flash accepts text, image and video input and supports tool calling, function calling, structured outputs, web search, long context and 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.
