Full specs, context window and API limits →How much does GLM 4.7 (Cerebras) cost per million tokens?
Cerebras GLM-4.7 costs $2.25 per million input tokens and $2.75 per million output tokens ($2.375/M blended at 3:1). Combines premier Chinese/English reasoning with Cerebras CS-3 wafer-scale throughput. Verified 2026-09-08.
How much does GLM 4.7 (Cerebras) cost per 1,000 requests?
Computed from generated token pricing. Each row assumes the listed input and output tokens per request; output is adjusted by this model's measured 7.53× verbosity factor.
| Request shape | Input tokens | Output tokens | Cost / 1,000 requests |
|---|---|---|---|
| Short | 100 | 50 | $1.2604 |
| Medium | 1,000 | 500 | $12.6038 |
| Long | 4,000 | 2,000 | $50.4150 |
Formula: ((input price × input tokens) + (output price × output tokens × verbosity factor)) ÷ 1,000,000 × 1,000. Assumptions: short 100/50, medium 1,000/500, long 4,000/2,000 input/output tokens per request. Verbosity run: 2026-06-16T20:31:30.728Z.
Three model-specific pricing decisions
This is the Cerebras-hosted GLM 4.7 owner. GLM-5.2 direct-API economics are a dated comparison input; provider policy and open-weight deployment remain separate.
1. Coding-agent and long-output Cerebras bills
| Workload | Input / output | 100K bill | Cerebras delivery evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coding agent | 8,000 / 1,200 | $2130.00 | 1980 tokens/sec; TTFT 110 ms; 5 measured samples |
| Long output | 32,000 / 4,000 | $8300.00 | 1980 tokens/sec; TTFT 110 ms; 5 measured samples |
2. Required quality/retry uplift versus GLM-5.2 direct
| Fixed input / output | GLM 4.7 (Cerebras) | GLM-5.2 | Narrow decision boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coding agent · 8,000 / 1,200 | $2130.00 | $1648.00 | 15% accepted-result uplift required |
| Long output · 32,000 / 4,000 | $8300.00 | $6240.00 | 20% accepted-result uplift required |
Formula: requests × (input tokens × input $/M + output tokens × output $/M) ÷ 1,000,000. The uplift is a planning threshold, not a measured quality claim.
3. Capacity and deployment-risk ledger
| Dimension | Cerebras/API evidence | Direct comparison boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Token spend | $2.25 / $2.75 per M | Sourced |
| Completion time | 1980 tokens/sec; TTFT 110 ms; 5 measured samples | Output-only estimate excludes queueing |
| Context fit / quota / region / currency | Unavailable | Do not infer |
| Cache / batch / SLA | Unavailable | No free or guaranteed behavior |
