Arena · supplied snapshot·Supplied Arena snapshot · date pending·How we compare

Input and output savings use the separate supplied token rates. Combined cost uses 1M combined tokens: 75% input / 25% output; your workload mix changes the combined savings. Arena scores and prices are from the supplied snapshot. The leaderboard source and snapshot date still need confirmation.

Compare the essentials.

The same workload, with the details that help you choose.

Implementation

Test your chosen model.

Copy a model test, replace the API key with your own, and run.

Copy the Python or cURL test for GLM-5.3 Flash. Replace the API-key placeholder with your own key and run.

Python tests use the standard library. Video cURL tests also use Python 3 to read task responses.

A clear reference point

Understand the recommendation.

Recommendations combine the supplied Arena scores with the supplied model prices. A benchmark score is one signal for choosing a model for your workload.
