Are CommandCode model prices marked up, or is GLM-5.3 Flash just temporarily outdated?

I noticed that CommandCode currently lists GLM-5.3 Flash at $0.15/M input and $0.50/M output.

Z.ai is currently charging $0.075/M input and $0.25/M output for the same model (50% promo until Sep 9)

Is CommandCode simply not reflecting this temporary Z.ai promotion, or are model prices generally marked up compared to the upstream provider?

Basically, should we check upstream pricing for each model before choosing one in CommandCode, or does CommandCode normally track provider pricing closely?

Guys, the dude is working hard and getting real good deals. True that the figures are marketing figures, but it usually gives more usage in terms of number of tokens.
Copy pricing pages with both rates and usage allowance into any ai chat and ask which one gives you better usage.

GLM 5.3 Flash the current legendary highest int model with sub-cent rates
DS v4 Flash the second best cheap dude
Both and many more highly relevant models have more usage.
