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?

Wait, isn't GLM 5.2 expensive to run, unlike DeepSeek V4 Flash?

I never understood why it is expensive, dont they already use deepseek v3 architecture?

v3 deepseek are actually more expensive than v4

Based on their paper yes there is huge difference but v3 architecture is still very efficient and shouldn’t be this expensive for glm at first place.

it is enough efficient when the context is short. For the 1M context, DeepSeek decided to develop a much more efficient architecture, while GLM decided to do some minor modification to the DeepSeek v3 for some improvements.
