Flagship GLM model for long-horizon coding, agents, and complex project delivery
GLM 5.3 Fast by zhipuai is offered by 5 providers on this page. Its reference price is $2.80 per 1M input tokens and $8.80 per 1M output tokens. The lowest paid channel is Baseten at $2.10 / $6.60 per 1M, about 1.3× below the reference price.
The context window is 1,000,000 tokens at the reference host, but hosts report different limits, from 1,000,000 to 1,048,576, so the usable window depends on the provider you pick. It supports reasoning, tool use, and structured output. Accepted input modalities are Text and Image. 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.
