One key, every model

Switch models by changing a string. One prepaid balance covers all of them, billed per token.

Questions.

How much does GLM-4.5 Air cost?

$0.561 / 1M tokens output and $0.102 / 1M tokens input, 49% below Z.ai's list price. You pay per token from a prepaid balance, with no subscription or minimum. We match your first $5 top-up, so you start with $10 of credit.

Is it the real GLM-4.5 Air?

Yes. Your requests run on Z.ai's GLM-4.5 Air, not a distilled copy or a substitute. The discount comes from how we buy capacity, not from changing the model.

Which tools can use GLM-4.5 Air?

Anything that speaks the OpenAI API: set the base URL to our endpoint and use the model ID glm-4.5-air. We have setup guides for Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, the OpenAI and Vercel AI SDKs, LangChain and more.

How fast is it?

Requests go through our edge gateways, so the network hop adds very little on top of GLM-4.5 Air's own generation time. Responses stream back token by token.
