Budget GLM lane for fast coding help, routing, and everyday automation
GLM-4.7-Flash by zhipuai is offered by 24 providers on this page. Public prices are shown for 17 of them. Its official list price is $0 per 1M tokens. The lowest paid channel is Deep Infra at $0.06 / $0.40 per 1M, about 1.7× below the list price. It also has 6 free ($0) channels; free tiers usually carry rate limits, and subscription-covered access bills $0 per token only after the subscription fee.
Artificial Analysis rates it 14.9 on the Intelligence Index. Against its lowest blended price of $0.145 per 1M, that is roughly 103 index points per dollar, which is the value ratio the leaderboards rank on. Median output speed is 91 tokens per second, with 1.48s to the first token.
The context window is 200,000 tokens at the reference host, but hosts report different limits, from 128,000 to 203,000, so the usable window depends on the provider you pick. It supports reasoning, tool use, and structured output. The weights are open, so it can also be self-hosted or served through a gateway of your choice. Providers report the capability flags inconsistently, so verify a specific feature against the host you plan to use. Its training knowledge cuts off at 2025-04.
Quality is independently evaluated by Artificial Analysis. Speed/latency are model-level medians.

The same benchmark scores very differently across harness / dataset, so the qualifying conditions must be shown together.
Individual evaluations run by Artificial Analysis, on the same reasoning tier as the intelligence score above. Each benchmark has its own task set and harness, so rows are not comparable with one another. The Intelligence Index above draws on a different, newer set of evaluations.
