Chinese AI startup Z.ai, known for its powerful, open source GLM family of large language models (LLMs), has introduced GLM-5-Turbo, a new, proprietary variant of its open source GLM-5 model aimed at agent-driven workflows, with the company positioning it as a faster model tuned for OpenClaw-style tasks such as tool use, long-chain execution and persistent automation. It's available now through Z.ai's application programming interface (API) on third-party provider OpenRouter with roughly a 202.8K-token context window, 131.1K max output, and listed pricing of $0.96 per million input tokens and $3.20 per million output tokens. That makes it about $0.04 cheaper per total input and output cost (at 1 million tokens) than its predecessor, according to our calculations. ModelInputOutput [...]
