Input priceWhat you pay for everything you send the model — your question, plus any documents or earlier conversation you include with it.
—$1.00
Output priceWhat you pay for the text the model writes back. It is normally the dearer half: producing an answer costs more than reading one.
—$3.20
Cached input priceA reduced rate for text you send over and over. If every request starts with the same instructions or the same document, the provider keeps a copy ready and charges less to read it again.

Frequently asked questions

DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017 and GLM-5 don't publish scores on any of the same benchmarks, so there's no direct head-to-head comparison. Only GLM-5 has a verified first-party API price: $1.00 per million input tokens and $3.20 per million output tokens. No pay-as-you-go API rate is tracked for DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017. GLM-5 shipped 247 days before DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017, so benchmark comparisons should account for the intervening progress.

Published specifications for these two models are limited — see each model page for the latest details.
