Output tokens cost $2.82 per million on glm-5 and $2.76 per million on glm-5.2. Input tokens cost $0.88 per million on glm-5 and $0.79 per million on glm-5.2. Cached input tokens are billed at $0.18 per million on glm-5 and $0.20 per million on glm-5.2. Discounted rates are shown where a promotion is active. Context lengths are 202,752 tokens on glm-5 and 1,000,000 tokens on glm-5.2. Time to first token (TTFT) measured on AIHubMix is 1.3s on glm-5 and 1.1s on glm-5.2. Measured output throughput is 39.4 tok/s on glm-5 and 49.3 tok/s on glm-5.2. On the LMArena coding leaderboard glm-5 scores 1498 and glm-5.2 scores 1506.
glm-5glm-5.2GLM-5 is an advanced, open-source large language model designed for developers tackling the toughest challenges. It excels at long-context reasoning, multi-step tool orchestration, and complex systems engineering, making it the ideal choice for powering sophisticated agents and applications that require high-level cognitive tasks.
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 accepts 202,752 and glm-5.2 accepts 1,000,000 input tokens.
glm-5.2 at 49.3 tok/s and glm-5 at 39.4 tok/s, measured as output throughput on AIHubMix — a separate metric from time to first token.
glm-5 accepts text 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.
