Runtime service evidence

Measured values with the date they were observed. Nothing is inferred from a sibling model or a provider claim.

Time to first token: latency to the first answer chunk (Artificial Analysis, via BenchLM). Reasoning models include thinking time, so values can run to tens or hundreds of seconds.

Self-hosted listingZ.AI publishes GLM-5.3-Flash under MIT for self-hosting, so BenchLM represents the open checkpoint as self-host/free-per-token before infrastructure costs. The exact glm-5.3-flash model is also available through Z.AI services and the GLM Coding Plan, but Z.AI's public per-million-token pricing table does not yet list this SKU. The hosted API must not be read as free from this self-host placeholder.No hosted token rate was published for this model, so its per-token price is unavailable rather than zero.

Workload-aware monthly cost example

10 conversations per day × 8 messages × 22 active days, 1200 input and 400 output tokens per message, no cache. This uses the same calculator as the cost simulator, so an unavailable applicable rate makes the example unavailable too.

Modelled monthly costUnavailableThe applicable input rate is unavailable.

Lifecycle and limitations log

Lifecycle events the source associates with this model, plus what this profile does not claim.

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 claimValues 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 — the attempt timestamp is in each badge. Last attempted fetch for this model’s score: 2026-09-17 17:17 UTC.
