Processing or generating 10,000 words (approximately 13,330 tokens) with GLM-4.5-X (Z.ai) ranges from $0.005999 (cached input) to $0.1186 (full generation).
Quick answer
For 10,000 words, GLM-4.5-X (Z.ai) processes approximately 13,330 tokens. That costs $0.0293 as uncached input, $0.005999 with the modeled cache discount, or $0.1186 when generated as output.
Method & trust
The estimate converts the selected English word count with the model tokenizer family, then applies the published input/output price per million tokens. Real prompts vary with code, formatting, language, and system instructions.
You send 10,000 words as prompt context, documentation, or background knowledge.
GLM-4.5-X (Z.ai) drafts a complete 10,000 words article, chapter, or code module.
8,000 words input prompt + 2,000 words output reply.

For GLM-4.5-X (Z.ai) (glm_bpe tokenizer), 10,000 words is approximately 13,330 tokens (an average ratio of 1.33 tokens per word in English). Code, technical vocabulary, and non-English scripts will have higher token densities.
Sending 10,000 words as input costs $0.0293 (or $0.005999 with prompt caching). Generating 10,000 words as output costs $0.1186. Output tokens are more expensive because autoregressive token generation requires significantly more computation per token.
Yes! If your input text is part of a repeated context, prompt caching saves 50% to 90% (costing $0.005999). For non-urgent asynchronous batch processing, 24-hour batch queues provide a flat 50% discount across all tokens (costing $0.0147 for input, $0.0593 for output).
At an average human reading speed of 250 words per minute, 10,000 words takes approximately 40 minutes to read. In contrast, GLM-4.5-X (Z.ai) can process or generate this text in seconds.
