GPT-5.6 CYBER VS GLM 5.3

OpenAI vs Z.ai, in USD per million tokens, cross-checked daily against the public pricing dataset. Same jobs, both meters running.

THE VERDICT

16.3x

GPT-5.6 Cyber costs 16.3x more than GLM 5.3 for the same job — a 1,000-token prompt with a 3,000-token reply runs $0.24 vs $0.01. At 1,000 runs a day, that gap is $6,687.00 a month for identical traffic.

SIDE BY SIDE

	GPT-5.6 Cyber →	GLM 5.3 →
Vendor	OpenAI	Z.ai
Input / MTok	$12.50	$1.40
Output / MTok	$75.00	$4.40

SAME JOB, BOTH BILLS

Scenario	GPT-5.6 Cyber	GLM 5.3	Gap
A typical prompt	$0.07	$0.0044	16.3x
A 20-turn conversation	$0.35	$0.02	15.1x
Summarizing a 10-page document	$0.34	$0.03	13.4x
One agent run	$0.93	$0.06	16.6x
A code review request	$0.30	$0.02	16.1x

Output sizes use the same editorial ratios as the Burn Calculator. Estimates, not invoices — and price is not a benchmark: the cheaper model is only a bargain if it does the job.
