What these images do and don't show
  • These prices come from our capture alone — they were not confirmed against an independent second source.
  • 1 page had no counterpart in the earlier capture and is not shown.

Both images are our own captures, taken on the dates shown. The pixels are unmodified — nothing is retouched, and where a region is highlighted the marker is drawn over the image, not into it. Open either capture to see it at full resolution.

The “Latest Models” table on the Z.ai developer pricing page now lists GLM-5.3-FlashX as a second, higher-priced Flash SKU. The GLM Coding Plan prices ($18 / $80 / $168 Individual, $88 / $188 per seat Team) are unchanged.

From Zhipu AI's pricing timeline
GLM-5.3-Flash promo ends; GLM-5.3-FlashX tier added

The 50%-off GLM-5.3-Flash launch promo lapsed, so the docs card now lists the $0.15 / $0.03 / $0.50 rates, and a new GLM-5.3-FlashX tier appears at $0.37 in / $0.075 cached / $1.25 out per 1M tokens. Coding Plan prices are unchanged.
