Route notes
Questions before production traffic.
01How much does the GLM-5.3 Abliterated API cost?+
Through RouterPlex, GLM-5.3 Abliterated costs $4.00 per 1M input tokens and $6.00 per 1M output tokens — RouterPlex's disclosed public reference rate, billed per token from a prepaid balance you top up from $5. Cached input tokens are billed at $0.70 per 1M instead of the full input rate, which is most of the prompt on a repeated agent or coding loop. An abliterated build of Z.ai's GLM-5.3: the open weights with the refusal behaviour removed, served on RouterPlex through a third-party host. This is not the vendor's own model or price -- RouterPlex sets this rate. The model will answer requests the original declines, so you are responsible for how you use it under the RouterPlex terms.
02What does one GLM-5.3 Abliterated agent turn cost?+
A 100K-token input with a 10K-token reply costs about $0.46 on GLM-5.3 Abliterated. That makes it the 58th cheapest of 67 comparable text models on RouterPlex, roughly 38.3× the cost of the cheapest option (Muse Spark 1.2 Contributor).
03What is a cheaper alternative to GLM-5.3 Abliterated?+
Kimi K3 from Moonshot is the closest cheaper model on RouterPlex — $0.45 per agent turn against $0.46 for GLM-5.3 Abliterated, at $3.00/1M input and $15.00/1M output. Both run on the same key and the same endpoint, so switching is a one-line model ID change.
04Is GLM-5.3 Abliterated cheaper than Claude Opus 5.5?+

05What is the context window of GLM-5.3 Abliterated?+
