GLM-5.3 Calculator — requests per $1

Every monthly plan that includes GLM-5.3, converted to requests per $1 at the model's typical request shape. Same engine as the main calculator — proxy estimates carry a ~ marker; coarse estimates carry ≈.

GLM-5.3 is Z.AI's open-weight flagship for agentic coding, launched August 2026 with a 1-million-token context — the replacement for GLM-5.2 and now the default model on Z.AI's own GLM Coding tiers, OpenCode Go and CommandCode.

Markers: ~ proxy estimate and ≈ coarse estimate. Borrowed cap means the budget is a published API cap at list price, so Req / $1 is a value comparison rather than a measured allowance.

What real work costs

What GLM-5.3 costs on real coding tasks

Illustrative cost of common coding tasks on the best-priced plans above, scaled from each plan's live per-request price to a task-typical token volume. Task token assumptions are shared ~proxy estimates — real tasks vary, and they are never per-provider shapes.

Per-task cost = the plan's effective 52,850-token request price scaled to each task's token volume at the same shape mix. ~ = proxy estimate — shared task-token assumptions, not a quote. “n/a” = GLM-5.3 unpriced on that plan.

Common questions

How many requests per $1 do I get on GLM-5.3?

The best plan pricing GLM-5.3 delivers 1,876 Req/$1 at the model's typical request shape — on Ozore Pro. Figures are exact confidence: they are computed from published rates and usage caps, proxy estimates are marked with a ~, and borrowed-cap plans use a published API cap at list price, so their Req/$1 is a value comparison rather than a measured allowance.

What's the cheapest plan with GLM-5.3?

CommandCode Go at $1/mo. The cheapest plan is not always the best value — check Req/$1 above.

What is GLM-5.3?

GLM-5.3 is Z.AI’s (formerly Zhipu) current open-weight flagship for agentic coding and reasoning, released in August 2026 as the successor to GLM-5.2. It offers a 1-million-token context and sits in the Z.AI GLM model family alongside GLM-5.2, GLM-5.1 and GLM-5-Turbo.

Is GLM-5.3 open-weight?

Yes — GLM-5.3 is open-weight (family: zai, kind: text). The weights are publicly available, so you can self-host it or reach it through any plan that exposes an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, including BYOK routers.

What happens to GLM-5.2 and GLM-5.1 requests on Z.AI plans?

Z.AI automatically routes requests for the previous flagships (GLM-5.2 and GLM-5.1) to GLM-5.3 at the same credit multipliers, so existing workflows keep working while the whole line converges on the new flagship.

Which plans include GLM-5.3?

GLM-5.3 is the flagship on Z.AI’s own GLM Coding tiers (Lite, Pro and Max) and is also listed on OpenCode Go and all six CommandCode plans, from the $1 Go tier up. The calculator compares every monthly plan that prices it.

Can I use GLM-5.3 with any agent (BYOK)?

Yes — because GLM-5.3 is open-weight, any BYOK plan with an OpenAI-compatible endpoint can serve it. You can use it with Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, or any other agent that supports custom model endpoints.

What kind of model is GLM-5.3?

GLM-5.3 is a text generation model (family: zai, kind: text) positioned for agentic coding and long-context reasoning — a frontier open-weight pick rather than a budget throughput model like DeepSeek V4 Flash.
