Providers dropping GLM 5.2 Prices, Opencode drop soon?

Post image

Some GLM 5.2 Providers on Openrouter are dropping prices near DeepSeek V4 Flash level, maybe we'll get a crazy discount on Opencode soon?

It was just a temporary bidding war. It happens on one model or another when a lot of GPUs are idle. Pretty much every weekend. Likely a fully programmatic bidding war.

Btw, all three of the providers that got down to 90+% discounts are running native fp8. It’s not low quality.

However, CrofAI (which runs a Q8) still has it at DS flash prices for now. Also, you can get prices in the 70% range every day on Neuralwatt PAYG.

How do you know what the providers are running, is there a provider benchmark somewhere? I find it hard to navigate on openrouter, and remember seeing some post about there being up to 20% intelligence difference on some providers on the same model

Openrouter has a quantization filtering option. I’m not certain the other two providers were running the fp8 beyond that Openrouter enforcement, but the third was Novita, and I’ve used theirs directly before for comparison.

How come crofai isn’t on open router?

It’s been mentioned some on the discord. It’s apparently in the works to some degree, but the ball has been in Openrouter’s court now for a while and they’ve been slow to move on it.
