Providers serving this model

Sorted by lowest combined prompt and completion price. Use "provider": {"sort": "throughput"} in the request body (or append :nitro to the model id) to route to the fastest provider instead.

Trust boundary: TR router attestation verifies the TrustedRouter gateway only. Provider policy separately describes the upstream model host's retention, confidential compute, and E2EE posture. Company country is separate from inference location. Weight formats are source-backed declarations, not per-request proofs.

IO Intelligenceio-net	$0.9073/1M	$0.45365/1M	$2.90336/1M	Unknown	privacy unknown Retention details In its September 28, 2026 marketplace submission, io.net states that inference prompts and completions are processed only in memory, are not stored or logged, and are not used for training. Content-free operational metadata is retained for billing, capacity planning and abuse prevention. This is a provider declaration: the reviewed public privacy policy does not establish inference-specific zero-retention terms, and the applicable DPA has not been reviewed. Routes remain Standard pending that evidence. Confidential compute is offered on request, but this integration has no verified confidential-compute or provider-side E2EE guarantee. Provider policy source	Operator country: US Location details Headquarters / registered office: West Hollywood, California, United States (operating address). Company location source (reviewed 2026-09-28). Inference: United States and Canada, provider-declared; no US-only or fixed-country guarantee on this route. io.net declares US and Canadian serving locations and data residency in its September 28, 2026 marketplace submission. This is provider-wide information, not an independently verified per-model or per-request location. Region pinning through TR: Not supported by the current TrustedRouter integration.

GMI Cloudgmi	$1.055/1M	$0.211/1M	$3.376/1M	Unknown	privacy unknown Retention details GMI runs isolated/VPC GPU inference, but that is network isolation, NOT an attested TEE — so no confidential-compute, zero-retention, or E2EE claim is marked.

Venicevenice	$1.055/1M	$0.211/1M	$3.376/1M	Unknown	ZDR provider E2EE not verified Retention details Venice's live model catalog marks this exact route private. Venice describes Private as contract-enforced zero data retention. This is policy-backed, not hardware-verified. TrustedRouter cannot verify a complete chain from the live endpoint to immutable source and model weights, so the route is not tracked as TEE or E2EE and is excluded from trustedrouter/e2e.

Speed is the median (p50) from TR's recent measured requests for this exact model and provider, refreshed from the cached leaderboard. At least two timing samples are required; workload and network conditions affect results. Performance details

Questions

What model ID should I use for Z.ai: GLM 5?

Use z-ai/glm-5 as the model field with the TrustedRouter OpenAI-compatible API. Credits routing and provider fallback happen behind that model ID.

Which providers serve Z.ai: GLM 5?

TrustedRouter currently lists Venice, Featherless AI, Z.AI, GMI Cloud, SiliconFlow, StreamLake, IO Intelligence, and Atlas Cloud for Z.ai: GLM 5. Provider availability and routing eligibility can change as catalog and health data update.

How much does Z.ai: GLM 5 cost through TrustedRouter?

The current lowest Credits input price is $0.9073/1M and the lowest Credits output price is $2.69025/1M. Prices are per one million tokens and come from the current route catalog.

How do I require zero data retention for Z.ai: GLM 5?

Set provider.min_privacy to zdr on the request. TrustedRouter considers only routes with a recorded zero-data-retention posture and fails closed if no eligible route remains.
