Z.ai: GLM 4.5 Air
🇨🇳 Z.ai (Zhipu) · GLM 4.5
Overview
Z.ai: GLM 4.5 Air is a large language model API from Z.ai (Zhipu), part of its GLM 4.5 model family. At $0.130 per million input tokens and $0.850 per million output tokens, it sits in the budget tier — among the cheaper options for high-throughput or cost-sensitive workloads. Output tokens cost about 7× as much as input, so prompt-heavy workloads run noticeably cheaper than generation-heavy ones. The 131K-token context window — around 197 pages of text — comfortably handles long documents, multi-file code, or extended conversations. On Artificial Analysis's Intelligence Index it scores 17 (D grade), a useful proxy for its general reasoning strength relative to the other models tracked here. All prices on this page reflect OpenRouter's routed rates and are re-synced automatically every day; confirm against the provider's official pricing before committing to production.
