Processing or generating 25,000 words (approximately 33,325 tokens) with GLM-5-Turbo (Z.ai) ranges from $0.007998 (cached input) to $0.1333 (full generation).
Quick answer
For 25,000 words, GLM-5-Turbo (Z.ai) processes approximately 33,325 tokens. That costs $0.04 as uncached input, $0.007998 with the modeled cache discount, or $0.1333 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 25,000 words as prompt context, documentation, or background knowledge.
GLM-5-Turbo (Z.ai) drafts a complete 25,000 words article, chapter, or code module.
20,000 words input prompt + 5,000 words output reply.

For GLM-5-Turbo (Z.ai) (glm_bpe tokenizer), 25,000 words is approximately 33,325 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 25,000 words as input costs $0.04 (or $0.007998 with prompt caching). Generating 25,000 words as output costs $0.1333. 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 $0.007998). For non-urgent asynchronous batch processing, 24-hour batch queues provide a flat 50% discount across all tokens (costing $0.02 for input, $0.0667 for output).
At an average human reading speed of 250 words per minute, 25,000 words takes approximately 100 minutes to read. In contrast, GLM-5-Turbo (Z.ai) can process or generate this text in seconds.
