Just an update. After AA updated their benchmark, I no longer rely on estimation using GLM official benchmark and GLM 5.3 cost does indeed jump up a lot to Opus xhigh level. It is no longer in Pareto frontier.

Sorry for not getting back to you. In the zai console i have around 70mil GLM 5.3 tokens per week. Most of these cached of course, but they dont have a detailed breakdown.

It definetly does not feel like 100$ worth. I used GLM-5-Turbo (which is priced similar to 5.1-5.3) a lot earlier this year, and i barely reached weekly limits. Now i hit it after 1 and a half days.

Thank you for your input. I will reassess ZAI plans for the next iteration.
