Z.ai: GLM 5 Turbo
🇨🇳 Z.ai (Zhipu) · GLM 5
Overview
Z.ai: GLM 5 Turbo is a large language model API from Z.ai (Zhipu), part of its GLM 5 model family. Priced at $1.20 per million input tokens and $4.00 per million output tokens, it occupies the mid-range, balancing capability against running cost. Output tokens cost about 3× as much as input, so prompt-heavy workloads run noticeably cheaper than generation-heavy ones. A large 262K-token context window (≈393 pages of text) lets it take in whole books, large codebases, or lengthy transcripts in a single call. On Artificial Analysis's Intelligence Index it scores 38 (B 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.
