Key Features	• Unified API for open-source and commercial LLMs • Text, image, and video generation models • High-speed inference optimized for production

✓One API provides access to 20+ frontier models including DeepSeek-V3.2, GLM-5.1, Kimi-K2.5, and MiniMax-M2.5 without separate integrations
✓Transparent per-model token pricing starting at $0.10/M input tokens on Step-3.5-Flash, well below comparable OpenAI or Anthropic pricing
✓Early access to Chinese-origin frontier models that often launch here before Western aggregators pick them up
✓Long context windows up to 262K tokens support document-heavy RAG and long-horizon agent workflows
✓Free tier and contact-sales options make it accessible to solo developers as well as enterprise pilots
✓Broad modality coverage across chat, vision (GLM-5V-Turbo, GLM-4.6V), image, and video generation in a single account

✗Catalog skews heavily toward Chinese model labs — developers wanting GPT-4.1, Claude, or Gemini will need separate provider accounts
✗Lacks managed fine-tuning and training infrastructure that competitors like Together AI and Fireworks AI offer
✗Documentation and community content are thinner than established Western inference providers
✗Limited enterprise features around SOC 2, HIPAA, or data-residency compared to hyperscaler ML platforms
✗Pricing, while transparent, varies per model — cost forecasting for mixed-model workloads requires careful tracking
