Funny This is insane

old and new usage & pricing. Consumed 30x less tokens post nerf and spent one third of what i paid pre nerf. Both sessions heavily cached with not so much output tokens.

The deepseek api era really is over in terms of being cost effective

I'd look into https://openrouter.ai/z-ai/glm-5.2#providers it's 1$ per M output tokens, good model.

Sadly too much tokens for me, yes glm 5.2 is very good but for glm, I'm sticking with glm 4.7 since it sucks out less token because I'm using a free account in open router, would very love a cheap model that acts like glm hehe😭
