ParametersThe learned values that shape how a model responds. B means billion and T means trillion. For mixture-of-experts models, the total count is larger than the number active for each token. Parameter count alone does not measure quality. | — | 9B |
Context windowHow much information the model can work with in one request, measured in tokens — pieces of words or other data. This includes your question, attachments, conversation and reply. Limits can vary by model variant and provider. | 400k | 128k |
| API pricingUSD per 1M tokens · lower wins | ||
Input priceWhat you pay for everything you send the model — your question, plus any documents or earlier conversation you include with it. | $15.00 | — |
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. | $120.00 | — |
Cheapest inputLowest input rate across every provider on OpenRouter, the lab included. The cheapest endpoint may run a quantised build or a shorter context — see "Available from" on the model page. | $15.00OpenAI | — |
Cheapest outputLowest output rate across every provider on OpenRouter, the lab included. May come from a different provider than the cheapest input. | $120.00OpenAI | — |

GPT-5 Pro and GLM-4-9B don't publish scores on any of the same benchmarks, so there's no direct head-to-head comparison. Only GPT-5 Pro has a verified first-party API price: $15.00 per million input tokens and $120.00 per million output tokens. No pay-as-you-go API rate is tracked for GLM-4-9B. GLM-4-9B shipped 428 days before GPT-5 Pro, so benchmark comparisons should account for the intervening progress.
Context windows are 400k (GPT-5 Pro) vs 128k (GLM-4-9B). GPT-5 Pro is closed, while GLM-4-9B is open weight.
