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.

Questions

Which should I use, nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-30B-A3B-BF16 or Z.ai: GLM 5.2?

Is nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-30B-A3B-BF16 or Z.ai: GLM 5.2 cheaper?

The current cheapest TrustedRouter route is $1.21325/1M for nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-30B-A3B-BF16 and $2.2999/1M for Z.ai: GLM 5.2. The comparison uses current catalog prices and updates as provider pricing changes.

Is nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-30B-A3B-BF16 or Z.ai: GLM 5.2 faster?

Current measured p50 time to first token is not enough data for nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-30B-A3B-BF16 and 899 ms for Z.ai: GLM 5.2. These are routed probe measurements, not vendor-advertised speeds, and update as new samples arrive.

Can I test nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-30B-A3B-BF16 and Z.ai: GLM 5.2 with the same API?

Yes. Use the same OpenAI-compatible TrustedRouter base URL and API key, then change only the model id between nvidia/nemotron-3.5-lightning-30b-a3b-bf16 and z-ai/glm-5.2. This makes side-by-side evals possible without maintaining two provider integrations.
