Effective Cost

In AI IQ's scoring, Glm 4.7's list price is adjusted by a token-usage multiplier of 1.12 (measured from real benchmark runs), giving an effective cost of $3.14 per 1M input + output tokens. That places it #50 of 117 models on the effective-cost ranking (lower is cheaper). Some models spend far more tokens than others on the same task, so effective cost compares what a unit of work really costs. Method details are on the methodology page; see all models on the cost charts and the falling cost of intelligence over time.
