Production choice

Pick a default model. Keep fallback enabled.

TrustedRouter is useful when you know the model you want, but still need provider rollover, budget limits, usage records, and a prompt path you can verify.

The current cheapest TrustedRouter route is $0.6752/1M for DeepSeek: DeepSeek V3.2 and $1.266/1M for Z.ai: GLM 4.6V. The comparison uses current catalog prices and updates as provider pricing changes.

Is DeepSeek: DeepSeek V3.2 or Z.ai: GLM 4.6V faster?

Current measured p50 time to first token is 1666 ms for DeepSeek: DeepSeek V3.2 and 1399 ms for Z.ai: GLM 4.6V. These are routed probe measurements, not vendor-advertised speeds, and update as new samples arrive.

Can I test DeepSeek: DeepSeek V3.2 and Z.ai: GLM 4.6V with the same API?

Yes. Use the same OpenAI-compatible TrustedRouter base URL and API key, then change only the model id between deepseek/deepseek-v3.2 and z-ai/glm-4.6v. This makes side-by-side evals possible without maintaining two provider integrations.
