API CALL INVOCATION EXAMPLE
// Example: Calling GLM-5 via OpenAI SDK
import OpenAI from "openai";
const client = new OpenAI({
apiKey: process.env.ZHIPUAI_API_KEY,
});
const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: "zhipuai/glm-5",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello! Can you inspect MCP tools?" }],
});
console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);PRICING BY PROVIDER
Rates in USD per 1M tokens. Rates synchronized from models.dev public catalog.
This model supports prompt caching at $0.15 / 1M tokens, saving up to 75% on repetitive MCP tool definitions and system instructions.
