GLM 5.3 on every platform
One row per platform listing, read daily from each platform: the same prices as the GLM table. Prices are per million tokens; the workload cost weights input and output as chosen above. Green is the cheapest in each column. A price over twice the official one says “check with platform”, sits last and is not ranked.

The same model, billed another way
Batch and thinking modes are separate rows on the family page too, so they are not ranked against the standard prices above.
