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 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.

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.

Common questions

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

The best plan pricing GLM-5.3-Flash delivers 12,048 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-Flash?

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

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.

Which CommandCode plans offer GLM-5.3-Flash?

GLM-5.3-Flash is available on CommandCode Go and above — Go ($1), GOAT ($10), Pro ($20), Provider ($15), Max 10× ($100), and Max 20× ($200). The $1 Go tier includes it despite being the entry-level plan.

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 LMArena has not yet scored GLM-5.3-Flash. Unverified community claims circulate, but 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.
