Output tokens cost $25.00 per million on claude-opus-4-6 and $2.76 per million on glm-5.2. Input tokens cost $5.00 per million on claude-opus-4-6 and $0.79 per million on glm-5.2. Cached input tokens are billed at $0.50 per million on claude-opus-4-6 and $0.20 per million on glm-5.2. Discounted rates are shown where a promotion is active. Context lengths are 200,000 tokens on claude-opus-4-6 and 1,000,000 tokens on glm-5.2. Time to first token (TTFT) measured on AIHubMix is 2.0s on claude-opus-4-6 and 0.9s on glm-5.2. Measured output throughput is 43.5 tok/s on claude-opus-4-6 and 49.2 tok/s on glm-5.2. On the LMArena coding leaderboard claude-opus-4-6 scores 1547 and glm-5.2 scores 1506.
claude-opus-4-6
glm-5.2Claude Opus 4.6 is Anthropic’s latest state-of-the-art reasoning model. It features an adaptive “thinking” mode that dynamically decides when to think and how much to think. At the default effort level (high), Claude will almost always engage in thinking. At lower effort levels, it may skip thinking for simple problems. ⚠️ The minimum cache token for claude-opus-4-6 has been increased from 1,024 to 4,096 tokens.
GLM-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.
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 at 49.2 tok/s and claude-opus-4-6 at 43.5 tok/s, measured as output throughput on AIHubMix — a separate metric from time to first token.
claude-opus-4-6 accepts text and image input and supports thinking, tool calling, function calling and structured outputs; glm-5.2 accepts text input and supports thinking, tool calling, function calling and structured outputs.
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.
