What it costs

A list price says what a token costs. The cost per solved task says what a working answer costs, which is the number that decides.

Output price against the market

GLM 5 pricing

What the boards say about its runs

Beside a result, many boards publish what the run cost, how long it took, the tokens it spent or the votes behind a rating. Each figure as its board printed it, one board per row.
