GLM-5.3-Flash Calculator — requests per $1

Every monthly plan that includes GLM-5.3-Flash, 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-Flash (formerly the stealth "Ox Alpha" codename on OpenRouter/CommandCode) is a confirmed Z.AI GLM-family model — it appears in Z.AI’s own "Latest Models" pricing (docs.z.ai/guides/overview/pricing) at $0.15 input / $0.075 cached / $0.50 output, on a 50% launch discount through 2026-09-09. 1M context, multimodal input (text, images, video), built for long-horizon coding and agentic work; free during its ~1-week CommandCode preview window on Go and above.

Markers: ~ proxy estimate · ≈ coarse estimate · ≥ cache floor · ≤ cache ceiling — a plan that publishes no cached-read rate bills cached tokens at the input rate, so its Req/$1 is a floor (≥) and its cost is a ceiling (≤). 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-Flash 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 56,200-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-Flash unpriced on that plan.

Common questions

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

The best plan pricing GLM-5.3-Flash delivers 3,158 Req/$1 at the model's typical request shape — on OpenCode Go. 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-Flash?

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

Which plans include GLM-5.3-Flash?

44 tracked plans across 14 providers price it: CommandCode (Go, GOAT, Max 10×, Max 20×, Pro and Provider), Phoenix Grove (Taster, Basic, Pro, Elite, Ultra and Canopy), Charm Hyper (Shred Diet, Shred Classic, Shred Energy, Shred Nitro and Shred Animal), Neural Watt (Basic, Standard, Pro and Max), Standard Compute (Starter, Economy, Standard and Pro), Nous Portal (Plus, Super and Ultra), Synthetic (Go, Standard and Big), Z.ai (GLM Coding Lite, GLM Coding Pro and GLM Coding Max), BytePlus (Coding Plan Lite and Coding Plan Pro), Ollama (Pro and Max), OpenCode (Go and Go Plus), Ozore (Basic and Pro), Cline Pass and NanoGPT Subscription. The calculator compares every tracked monthly plan that prices it.

Where does GLM-5.3-Flash rank on the Agent Arena leaderboard?

#33 on the Agent Arena agent leaderboard — -1.16% net improvement (board fetched 2026-10-19). Ranks are scraped from https://arena.ai/leaderboard/agent, never typed by hand.

What is GLM-5.3-Flash?

GLM-5.3-Flash is a confirmed Z.AI (Zhipu AI) GLM-family reasoning model designed for coding, sustained agentic work, and production workloads — the same model that launched on OpenRouter/CommandCode under the stealth codename "Ox Alpha." It is listed in Z.AI’s own "Latest Models" pricing (docs.z.ai/guides/overview/pricing) at $0.15 input / $0.075 cached / $0.50 output, with a 50% launch discount through 2026-09-09. Z.AI confirmed the ox-alpha identity to Bloomberg on 2026-08-26, and its weights are open (MIT). It is suited for long-horizon software engineering, complex reasoning, and workflows that combine text with visual context.

Who makes GLM-5.3-Flash?

GLM-5.3-Flash is made by Z.AI (Zhipu AI), a Beijing-based AI lab — the company behind the GLM family (GLM-5, GLM-5.2, GLM-5.3). It is a confirmed Z.AI model: Z.AI’s own "Latest Models" pricing (docs.z.ai/guides/overview/pricing) lists GLM-5.3-Flash at $0.15 input / $0.075 cached / $0.50 output, with a 50% launch discount through 2026-09-09. The "Ox Alpha" name used during the preview was a stealth codename; Z.AI confirmed the identity to Bloomberg on 2026-08-26 and the weights are open (MIT). GLM-5.3-Flash is a separate entry from the paid GLM-5.3 flagship ($1.4/$4.4). The OpenRouter/CommandCode route id remains stealth/ox-alpha.

Is GLM-5.3-Flash free?

Yes — during the preview window GLM-5.3-Flash is billed at $0.00/M for input, output, and cache reads. This is a temporary promotional preview, not a permanent free tier. The preview is expected to last roughly one week from launch (August 20, 2026).

What is the context window and output limit?

GLM-5.3-Flash has a 1,048,576-token context window (approximately 1M tokens) and supports up to 131,072 completion tokens per request.

Is GLM-5.3-Flash multimodal?

Yes — GLM-5.3-Flash accepts text, images, and video as input and returns text output. Note that Z.AI does not present GLM-5.3 as its native multimodal product (GLM-5V-Turbo is); this multimodal Flash variant is the reattributed "Ox Alpha." It supports function calling (tools/tool_choice) and structured outputs (response_format for JSON, without JSON-schema enforcement).

How do I access GLM-5.3-Flash?

On CommandCode, use the command `cmd --model stealth/ox-alpha` or type `/model` in a session and pick it. You can switch mid-session without losing context. OpenRouter also serves it as `stealth/ox-alpha` through an OpenAI-compatible API.

Does GLM-5.3-Flash beat GPT-5.6 Sol or Claude Fable 5?

Benchmarks are preliminary (10-task test, not audited) and unverified community claims circulate; tokenplans does not assert ranking superiority without verified leaderboard data. The model is positioned for long-horizon agentic work, not necessarily as a direct GPT-5.6 Sol or Claude Fable 5 competitor in all dimensions.
