About GLM 5.1 Non-thinking

GLM 5.1 Non-thinking is a language model developed by Zhipu AI. It's particularly well-suited for tackling complex, multi-step reasoning problems, orchestrating tool-using agents that call APIs and external services, producing structured outputs for reliable data extraction and handling large contexts of up to 200K tokens. Its 200K-token context window means you can pass in entire documents, codebases, or conversation histories without losing context. It can write up to 24K tokens in a single response.

As of Nov 5, 2026, GLM 5.1 Non-thinking costs $1.51 per 1M input tokens and $5.03 per 1M output tokens on Qubax. A typical 1,000 chat requests (2K tokens in, 500 out) come to about $5.53. Pay with USDC, USDT, BTC, ETH or 350+ other coins — no credit card required.
