Usage based; verify current GLM-5.2 token prices on Z.ai or provider docs before volume commitments.
Buyer-value caveat
PlanetGPU separates vendor-published prices from buyer guidance. API pricing, subscriptions, context windows, open-weight status, and referral terms can change quickly, so verify the linked official sources before purchase or infrastructure planning.

GLM Coding Plan from $18/month via Z.ai.
Claude Code, Cline, Kilo Code, OpenCode, OpenClaw/Clawdbot, Cursor, Windsurf, Trae, and other agent tools advertised by Z.ai.
GPU route
Self-hostable
Open-weight deployment is the main PlanetGPU angle; treat long-context production serving as H200/B200-class multi-GPU planning, not a small local run.
Referral / affiliate offer
PlanetGPU may receive referral credit if you subscribe through this Z.ai invite link.
Best for
Developers who want GLM inside coding tools before building their own gateway.
Infra teams comparing open-weight serving against hosted coding/API spend.
Buyers who need model-weight availability and source-backed caveats.
Caveats
- Coding-plan quota is not the same as a transparent API-credit bucket.
- Z.ai plan and API prices can change quickly; verify the checkout page before purchase.
- Full 1M context raises KV-cache and serving-cost pressure.
