Aren't there cheaper providers of GLM 4.6 on Openrouter? What are the advantages of using Cerebras? Is it much faster?


You know how sometimes when you send a prompt to Claude, you just know it’s gonna take a while, so you go grab a coffee, come back, and it’s still working? With Cerebras it’s not even worth switching tabs, because it’ll finish the same task in like three seconds.


Cerebras offers a $50/mo and $200/mo "Cerebras Code" subscription for token limits way above what you could get for the same price in PAYG API credits. https://www.cerebras.ai/code

Up until recently, this plan only offered Qwen3-Coder-480B, which was decent for the price and speed you got tokens at, but doesn't hold a candle to GLM 4.6.

So while they're not the cheapest PAYG GLM 4.6 provider, they are the fastest, and if you make heavy use their monthly subscription plan, then they're also the cheapest per token.

Note: I am neither affiliated with nor sponsored by Cerebras, I'm just a huge nerd who loves their commercial offerings so much that I can't help but gush about them.


It's astonishingly fast.
