Why AIHubMix has GLM 5.1 at prices like $0.22/mtok out
AIHubMix's prices for coding-glm-5.1, as of writing, are $0.06/mtok in and $0.22/mtok out. For context, the best provider on OpenRouter is $0.98/0.182/3.08, and CrofAI is $0.45/0.08/2.15. I asked
their founder, Ken Le, why. His words:
Sorry, I just saw the message; glm-5.1 is the official version of the API for access, which can ensure stable use under high concurrency. The version with the coding suffix is what we previously collaborated on with Z.ai, converting glm5.1 from their package into an API. At that time, they provided us with a lot of resources for computing power, so we offered free trials and very low prices. However, in the last two months, their computing power has become tight, and the resources they provide us have significantly decreased, so the experience with the version that has the coding suffix may not be good and may result in errors.
