Fast GLM vision model for screenshots, documents, and multimodal agent tasks
GLM-5V-Turbo by zhipuai is offered by 17 providers on this page. Its official list price is $1.20 per 1M input tokens and $4.00 per 1M output tokens. The lowest paid channel is AIHubMix at $0.704 / $3.10 per 1M, about 7.1× below the list price. That channel is a third-party gateway, so confirm its availability and rate limits before depending on it.
Artificial Analysis rates it 23.5 on the Intelligence Index. Against its lowest blended price of $1.30 per 1M, that is roughly 18 index points per dollar, which is the value ratio the leaderboards rank on.
The context window is 200,000 tokens at the reference host, but hosts report different limits, from 200,000 to 202,800, so the usable window depends on the provider you pick. It supports reasoning, tool use, and structured output. Accepted input modalities are Text, Image, Video, PDF, and Audio. Providers report the capability flags inconsistently, so verify a specific feature against the host you plan to use.
Quality is independently evaluated by Artificial Analysis. Speed/latency are model-level medians.
