Zhipu AI's GLM models are among China's most capable AI systems. GLM-5.1 achieves coding SOTA, and GLM-4 Flash is one of the cheapest capable models in the world at $0.01 per million tokens. But accessing them internationally has been difficult.

GLM Models Available via AIPower

Model	Input $/M	Output $/M	Context	Best For
GLM-5.1	$1.20	$3.84	128K	Coding SOTA, complex tasks
GLM-4 Flash	$0.01	$0.01	128K	Testing, prototyping, high volume

Why GLM-4 Flash Is a Game Changer

At $0.01 per million tokens (both input and output), GLM-4 Flash is essentially free. This makes it perfect for:

Development & testing — run thousands of test queries for pennies
High-volume classification — categorize millions of items cheaply
Chat applications — serve end-users at near-zero marginal cost
Data extraction — process large datasets without worrying about cost

Quick Start

from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(base_url="https://api.aipower.me/v1", api_key="YOUR_KEY")

# GLM-4 Flash — nearly FREE
r = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="zhipu/glm-4-flash",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Classify this text: ..."}],
)

# GLM-5.1 — coding SOTA
r = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="zhipu/glm-5.1",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Write a REST API in FastAPI"}],
)

Access both GLM models with 10 free API calls at aipower.me. No Chinese phone or bank account needed.

from openai import OpenAI client = OpenAI( base_url="https://api.aipower.me/v1", # ← only change api_key="sk-your-aipower-key", ) response = client.chat.completions.create( model="auto-cheap", # or anthropic/claude-opus, deepseek/deepseek-chat, openai/gpt-5, etc. messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}], ) print(response.choices[0].message.content)
