Blended assumes 70% of input served from cache and output equal to 25% of input volume — a reference mix for comparison only, not a billed rate. The gateway records usage after a successful response; rates shown are the currently configured rates.

## Change one base URL.

Keep the request shape your application already understands. Change the model ID when the workload changes.

## Cache decides the bill.

Message 12 of a conversation costs 3.7× less than it would without cache — because every message resends everything before it, and we charge full price only for the part that is new.

GLM 5.2 rates, USD per 1M tokens — a cache hit is billed at 5× less than a miss. Illustration: a conversation of 12 messages, each one request that adds 10,000 input and 1,000 output tokens and resends everything before it, priced per 1,000 requests. Token counts are illustrative; the rates are published. Cache ratio differs per model.

## Spend less on every token.

Pay only for what you use. Input starts at $0.0420 per 1M tokens — lower cache rates are applied automatically, per model.
