GLM 5.2 cuts input price, doubles output price
Z.ai has repriced GLM 5.2 on OpenRouter. Input fell from $0.104 to $0.024 per 1M tokens, while output rose from $8 to $16 per 1M tokens. The balance has shifted sharply towards cheap context and expensive generation.

What it means for a SaaS brand
If you run GLM 5.2 for brand visibility monitoring or content pipelines, long prompts are now far cheaper but long answers cost double, so check your spend split before the next billing cycle. Trim verbose outputs and cap response length rather than cutting back on context.
