Blaze it, Robot!

4/20. It is to Musk what 67 is to children.

I think it's more 420 or 4:20 (marijuana reference) than 4/20 (Hitler's birthday).

Although given it's Musk, others may disagree.

There is no such thing as "standard pricing" for products with different performance profiles, architectures, inference costs and infrastructure stack

It is price fixing, nothing else

GLM 5.3 is roughly Opus class and is much, much cheaper

It’s more expensive than 6.1-sol though? At least according to benchmarks.

I think at this point comparing raw token pricing is often apples to oranges.

Those "price per task" benchmarks seem to pre-suppose the existence well-defined requirements and acceptance criteria.

When that isn't available, and the task involves "understanding the problem", "deciding what I'm actually after" etc. iterations, I find price-per-token to still be a better predictor of cost.

Opus 5 class yes, but opus 5.5 is functionally mythos tier

Opus 5.5 class?

No, since that's a moving target. But the large GLM models are likely in a similar model weight class to the Opus family, just a few months behind

No, and anyone who says otherwise is being silly.

It’s still damned capable though, I’ve done a crazy amount of good work with 5.3 Flash.
