Questions people ask
Is grok-4 better than glm-5.3?
glm-5.3 outperforms grok-4 on 3 of 3 shared benchmarks. See the benchmark comparison above for specifics: grok-4 and glm-5.3 have different strengths across reasoning, coding, math and multimodal tasks.
Which is cheaper, grok-4 or glm-5.3?
glm-5.3 is cheaper. grok-4 costs $3.00/$15.00 per 1M input/output tokens, while glm-5.3 costs $1.40/$4.40.
Can I use grok-4 and glm-5.3 through the same API?
Yes. Requesty provides a single OpenAI-compatible API that routes to both. Change just the "model" parameter to switch between "xai/grok-4" and "zai/glm-5.3", no other code changes needed.
What are the context windows?
grok-4 supports up to 256K tokens of context. glm-5.3 supports up to 1M tokens. Longer context means you can feed larger documents or codebases in a single prompt, though quality often degrades past 128K for most models.
Switch between grok-4 and glm-5.3 with one line of code
Requesty provides a single OpenAI-compatible API for 600+ models. Change the model parameter, not your code.
