Use the OpenAI SDK or any OpenAI-compatible client: set the base URL to the UberLLM endpoint, use an UberLLM API key and set the model to "z-ai/glm-5". The Anthropic SDK works too, through /v1/messages.
Why is GLM-5 cheaper on UberLLM?
UberLLM is a market: sellers offer GLM-5 capacity below its list price, and each request goes to a seller that can serve it. A request costs what its seller charged, UberLLM adds no fee to it, and every request is listed with its cost in Activity.
Can a request cost more than this price?
Yes, when the lower-priced sellers are busy. Send provider.max_price with the most you will pay per million tokens: the request only goes to sellers at or under it and is never billed above it.
Are there other fees?
UberLLM adds no fee to model prices. A card fee of 5.5% + $0.50 is added when you buy credit. With the 5.5% added, UberLLM's GLM-5 price is still lower than every other provider in the table.
