# GLM-5 (Reasoning)

Z.AI · Open Weight · rank 68 · bench-align-v5

> Every figure below is reproduced as its upstream source published it: nothing is modelled, estimated, interpolated or converted. `Unavailable` means no source published the value — it is never a zero. Each value carries its evidence state and the date it was observed.

## Capability evidence

Seven axes from the ranking source. An axis the source did not score is unavailable, not zero.

## Runtime service evidence

Measured values with the date they were observed. Nothing is inferred from a sibling model or a provider claim. Regional or per-endpoint measurements appear only when the API supplies them; none are modelled.

## Endpoint and price matrix

Every published price component, including cache reads and writes.

| Component | USD | Evidence |

| Input / 1M tokens | $1.00 | Observed 2026-09-22 · source benchlm:pricing |
| Output / 1M tokens | $3.20 | Observed 2026-09-22 · source benchlm:pricing |
| Cache read / 1M tokens | Unavailable | Unavailable · source benchlm:pricing |
| Cache write / 1M tokens | Unavailable | Unavailable · source openrouter:pricing |
| Blended / 1M (75% input / 25% output) | $1.55 | Derived — from the input and output rates above; it has no source record of its own |
| Cost per successful task (LiveBench) | Unavailable | Unavailable · source livebench:table |

**Self-hosted listing.** Z.AI's model docs say GLM-5 supports thinking modes, and the official pricing page lists GLM-5 at $1.00 input / $3.20 output per million tokens. The rates above are a hosted price matched from another provider, not a first-party list price.

## Workload-aware monthly cost example

10 conversations per day × 8 messages × 22 active days, 1200 input and 400 output tokens per message, no cache. Derived here from the published rates above by this site's own calculator — not a figure any source published.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Modelled monthly cost | $4.36 |
| Modelled tokens | 2.82M |

## Lifecycle and limitations log

Lifecycle events the source associates with this model.

No lifecycle event references this model. That is not evidence the model has no lifecycle plan — only that this source published none.

## What this profile does not claim

Values are reproduced exactly as their sources published them, in the units those sources declared; none are converted, interpolated, or averaged across providers. Any field marked unavailable was attempted and not returned. Last attempted fetch for this model's score: 2026-09-22 10:17 UTC.
