GLM 5.3 is completely free on TokenRouter

[u/Ok_Topic_3468]

Not sure what data they store, but you get it with the full 1m token context window, max 8 requests per minute. The rate limit hasn't been too much of an issue for me since I use max reasoning though.

How slow are balls??

[u/Available_Cream_752 → u/MrMrsPotts]

Ballsey slow

[u/Hemil2022]

Too slow

[u/Lopsided-Force-9220]

The intellectual property these companies are vacuuming up must be epic.

[u/Proper-Tower2016 → u/Lopsided-Force-9220]

just use it to support open source or unimportant stuff

[u/jovialfaction → u/Lopsided-Force-9220]

Jokes on them all my development is open source

[u/zeamp → u/Lopsided-Force-9220]

We are the product.

[u/theChaosBeast → u/Lopsided-Force-9220]

Lol who sends IP data to public APIs?? Must be dump startups

[u/Lopsided-Force-9220 → u/theChaosBeast]

Literally everyone. It's like the cloud computing revolution. The gains and cost benefits are so high that the IP has no value if you can't move fast with it. So you move fast and use public inference endpoints.

8rpm limit, not usable, very slowl

[u/JamesGooning]

Thinks for 2 hours and wrote zero line of code. Pretty sure it is looping.

[u/JulienMaille]

Do you need a topped up account?

[u/mobileka → u/JulienMaille]

Yes, you do. 1 dollar is enough though.

UPD: some folks say it's no longer necessary to pay. I guess they changed it since yesterday

[u/ComparisonTough6763 → u/mobileka]

no, im using it rn without paying anything

[u/Real_University5239 → u/ComparisonTough6763]

What's the tps?

[u/dizvyz → u/mobileka]

Maybe having topped up before is enough (i.e they have your card)

[u/lemon07r → u/mobileka]

Any source for this? The blog post they made doesnt indicate any of this. Says its free to all even without payment method.

[u/mobileka → u/lemon07r]

I signed up yesterday. It asked me to pay 1 USD to use the free model. Without payment I couldn't create an API key. Is it different now?

UPD: some folks say it's no longer necessary to pay. I guess they changed it since yesterday.

[u/lemon07r → u/mobileka]

I was able to make a key just fine just now.

Also this is what their blog says:

GLM 5.3 is available at no cost on TokenRouter for one week from launch, through September 4. The promotion covers the full context window and is open to all accounts, new and existing, with no payment method or promotional code required. Standard pricing applies once the period concludes.

[u/mobileka → u/lemon07r]

They changed it then. A bit disappointed because the promotion I followed didn't set any expiration date, so I was hoping for a month of free glm or so.

[u/Ok_Topic_3468 → u/JulienMaille]

I'm not sure if others will but I didn't

[u/msenc]

is it just me or it feels a bit dumb

[u/msenc → u/msenc]

its too good to be true so it probably might be some quantized version

[u/Prior-Meeting1645 → u/msenc]

SAMEE

[u/Amphiitrion]

Clearly quantized as hell. Next.

[u/Uriziel01]

And slow as turd, but yeah, free 🫠

[u/mobileka]

It's free, but as others have already said, it's quite slow. You also need a min. of 1 USD topped up.

[u/Billysm23 → u/mobileka]

What models available beside glm?

[u/mobileka → u/Billysm23]

I only care about the free models, haven't checked anything else.

Upd: it's only glm 5.3 flash at the moment.

[u/Ok_Topic_3468 → u/mobileka]

im pretty sure its glm 5.3 not glm 5.3 flash

[u/mobileka → u/Ok_Topic_3468]

My bad, you're correct

[u/Billysm23 → u/mobileka]

Thank you

[u/Financial_Bug2389]

I topped up $1, using it for my Hermes Agent. Free but slow. I don't mind for batch stuff.

[u/Then-Fix7083]

Don't bother yourself... "Output token limit reachedThe reply was cut off; earlier output is preserved in the conversation. Send "continue" to let the model resume."

[u/tronghieu906]

slow as fuck

[u/ares0027]

I heard about electronhub i dont remember exactly but it was either unlimited free with a limited number of models or it was extremely generous;

In a single month i could not even use it once. Literally. Because it was unreachable, busy etc. i literally paid for nothing.

[u/NoPreparation4055]

yes its free but very slow

[u/Odd_Error_6736]

They get $20 and you get a mimic of intelligence lol

[u/PotterSkxawng]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DONT POST IT HERE... EXPLAINS WHY IT WAS SLOW AS SHIT FOR 5 hours yesterday.. anyways looks like the Reddit crowd is off cuz it's fast again and I can run those huge sub-agent swarms now. Never tell a big forum abt free usage.

[u/Ok_Topic_3468 → u/PotterSkxawng]

true......
