| What is free | Promotion ended 2026-09-09 at 24:00 UTC+8 (16:00 UTC), exactly as this row's expires_at predicted. Re-read first-party 2026-09-15: docs.z.ai/guides/overview/pricing now lists GLM-5.3-Flash at input $0.15/M, cached input $0.03/M, output $0.50/M — precisely the undiscounted rates this row named as the “from” prices — and carries no launch-discount language anywhere. OpenRouter corroborates from the other side: z-ai/glm-5.3-flash is priced at $0.15/$0.50 per M today, reverted from the $0.075/$0.25 it served during the promotion, and z-ai/glm-5.3-flash:batch now sits at $0.075/$0.25 — the ordinary half-price batch rate, not a surviving promotion. NOTE on a source that is now stale: a 2026-09-14 sweep of openrouter.ai/collections/discounted-models still listed GLM-5.3-Flash as 50% off, and the models endpoint contradicts it; treat that collection as corroboration only, never as a price. What this row claimed, while it was true: 50% off GLM-5.3-Flash — input $0.075/M (from $0.15), cached input $0.015/M (from $0.03), output $0.25/M (from $0.50), with the batch variant listed at exactly half again; GLM-5.3-Flash is the model the anonymous “Ox Alpha” stealth preview (afr-0044) was revealed to be, so the two rows describe the same model at successive stages. Retired six days after expiry: write access to this repo was gone from 2026-09-09 to 2026-09-15, and the catalog's own expiry guard test was red on this row for every one of them. |
