Questions about this model

How much does the GLM-5 API cost?

GLM-5 costs $1 per 1M input tokens and $3.2 per 1M output tokens on Inferray, and cached input is $0.2 per 1M. That is the list price, with no gateway fee on top.

Is there a free tier for GLM-5?

No. You add credit and pay GLM-5's list rate for each request — seats, projects, and API keys are free, and pay-as-you-go credit never expires.

Am I charged for failed requests?

No. A request that fails without returning a result is not billed. If a response fails part-way, the tokens already processed before the failure are charged.

Is GLM-5 included in Token Plans?

No. GLM-5 is pay-as-you-go only; Token Plans cover the other text models in the catalog.

Can I use GLM-5 in Claude Code?

Yes. Set ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL to https://api.inferray.com, ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN to your Inferray key, and ANTHROPIC_MODEL to glm-5. The same key works in Codex, opencode, Cline, and other agents.

Does GLM-5 support tool calling and vision?

GLM-5 supports tool calling, reasoning, JSON output and streaming on Inferray. It does not take image input.

Is it the real GLM-5?

Yes. A request for glm-5 is answered by GLM-5 from Z.ai, billed at its published list price. Inferray never substitutes a different or smaller model.
