About the GLM-5.1 API

How much does the GLM-5.1 API cost?

GLM-5.1 costs $0.84 per million input tokens, $0.156 per million cached input tokens and $2.64 per million output tokens on Revana. You pay from prepaid credit for the tokens each request used, with no subscription or minimum.

How do I call GLM-5.1 from code?

Use any OpenAI SDK with base URL https://api.revana.si/v1 and your Revana API key, and set model to "glm-5.1". POST /v1/chat/completions takes the OpenAI request body, streamed or not.

What happens if a request fails?

Revana has 2 routes for GLM-5.1 and moves a request to the next one when a route is busy or down. A request that gets no answer costs nothing.

Is GLM-5.1 on Revana the same model?

Yes. Revana passes your request to Zhipu GLM's model unchanged and returns its answer in the OpenAI format, with the usage it reported and what the request cost.
