Providers
GLM-5 starts at $1.00 per million input tokens and $3.20 per million output tokens via FriendliAI. See all 2 providers below with their per-token pricing, latency, throughput, and modality support.
| Provider | Input $/M | Output $/M | Context in / out | TTFT p50 / p95 s | Output avg / p5 c/s | Success 7d | Modalities in / out |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 FriendliAI | $1.00 | $3.20 | 200.0K/128.0K | 0.00/0.00 | —/— | 0.00%(6) | / |
 ZAI | $1.00 | $3.20 | 200.0K/128.0K | 0.00/0.00 | —/— | 0.00%(4) | / |
Cached input is the discounted price for prompt tokens served from a provider cache. TTFT is time to first token. Output is characters per second; p5 is the sustained floor exceeded by 95% of observed requests. Success is calculated from completed versus failed requests over the trailing seven days.
