call it

model=
novita/GLM-5

this model has no managed policy yet, so call the provider endpoint directly. every id in the endpoints table works the same way

Base url is https://router.requesty.ai/v1 for every id here. One key reaches the whole catalog.

quickstart

openai compatible
main.py
from openai import OpenAI client = OpenAI(    api_key="YOUR_REQUESTY_API_KEY",    base_url="https://router.requesty.ai/v1",) response = client.chat.completions.create(    model="novita/GLM-5",    messages=[        {"role": "user", "content": "Explain quantum computing in one paragraph."},    ],) print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Change the base url, use your Requesty key, set the model to any id in the call pane. Existing OpenAI SDK code needs no other edit, and the same key reaches every other model in the catalog, so switching later is a one-parameter change. Browse all models

notes

reference

GLM-5 is an open-source foundation model engineered for complex system engineering and long-horizon Agent tasks, delivering reliable productivity for top-tier programmers. Transcending the boundary from "writing code" to "building systems," it moves beyond traditional snippet generation to offer senior-architect-level planning and execution capabilities. By rejecting the "frontend-heavy, logic-light" approach, GLM-5 demonstrates exceptional reasoning and self-healing abilities in backend refactoring, complex algorithm implementation, and deep debugging—autonomously analyzing logs and iteratively fixing persistent bugs until the system runs. As the first open-source model featuring Opus-class style and system engineering depth, GLM-5 provides extreme logic density alongside the freedom of local deployment and high cost-effectiveness, making it the ideal choice for large-scale backend development and automated Agent construction.

questions 5

Which providers serve glm-5?
glm-5 is available from 2 providers through Requesty: Novita AI, Z.ai. All endpoints share one OpenAI-compatible API and one key, and Requesty fails over between them automatically.
How much does glm-5 cost?
Pricing starts at $1.00 per million input tokens and $3.20 per million output tokens on the cheapest provider. Prices vary by provider and region; the table above shows every endpoint. Requesty charges exactly what the upstream provider charges, with no markup.
Is glm-5 open weights?
Yes. glm-5 is an open-weights model from Z.AI, which is why multiple inference providers can host it. Provider choice affects price, latency, and data-privacy terms, all compared above.
What is the context window of glm-5?
glm-5 supports up to 203K tokens of context, with up to 131K output tokens per response. Some providers expose a smaller window; check the per-endpoint context column above.
How do I use glm-5 with the OpenAI SDK?
Install the OpenAI SDK, set base_url to "https://router.requesty.ai/v1", set your API key to your Requesty key, and set the model to "novita/GLM-5" or any endpoint id from the table above. The quickstart section shows Python, JavaScript and cURL snippets.

route glm-5 through one endpoint

One key for 2 providers on this model and 600+ others. No markup on provider prices, automatic failover, caching built in. Weekly aggregates in the measured pane come from production traffic routed through Requesty, one line per provider on a shared axis. Methodology
