z.ai/glm-5.3-flashGLM-5.3 Flash — 1.3M of context for a tenth of a credit
GLM-5.3 Flash reads a 1M-token context at a flat 0.18 credits per 1K input, with vision and tools — the cheapest way here to fill a full million-token window. When the job is to read something enormous cheaply, this is the model.
In the BUDGET group — reachable without topping up
A full million-token window at one flat price
Long enough for full reports and large generated files
Reads images alongside your text
Function calling and structured output
Budget pricing for a frontier-sized window

Yes. Top up your Tchavi account with Orange Money, MTN MoMo, M-Pesa or another mobile money operator. No bank card is needed. Credits land as soon as the payment is confirmed and are deducted as you use them.
Yes. Keep your current OpenAI SDK, just change the base URL to Tchavi's (shown in the API tab) and use your Tchavi key. The rest of your code stays the same.
import Tchavi from '@tchavi/sdk';
const client = new Tchavi({ apiKey: 'API_KEY' });
const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: 'glm-5.3-flash',
messages: [
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Hello!"
}
],
});
console.log(response.choices[0].message.content);
console.log('Credits used:', response.tchavi.credits_used);Every parameter this model accepts on the API. Check the SDK for full typings.
modelRequiredID of the chat model (e.g. `glm-5.3-flash`).
messagesRequiredConversation messages. Each item has a `role` (system/user/assistant) and a `content` that's either a plain string or an array of content blocks (`text`, `image_url`, `document_url`).
temperature1Sampling temperature between 0 and 2. Higher values = more random.
max_tokensMaximum number of tokens to generate in the response.
max_completion_tokensOpenAI alias for `max_tokens`. Either field works; if both are sent, `max_completion_tokens` wins.
streamfalseIf true, partial message deltas are streamed as Server-Sent Events.
toolsFunction-calling toolbox. Pass an array of `{ type: "function", function: { name, description, parameters } }`. Returned tool calls land in `choices[].message.tool_calls`. Only models with `supportsTools: true` accept this.
tool_choiceHow the model picks among tools: `"auto"` (default), `"none"` to force a plain text reply, or `{ type: "function", function: { name } }` to force a specific tool. Only with `supportsTools: true`.
response_formatConstrain the output. Pass `{ type: "json_object" }` to force valid JSON (the model still needs a JSON instruction in your prompt). Only models with `supportsJsonMode: true` honour this.
top_p1Nucleus sampling: only tokens in the top `top_p` probability mass are considered.
seedInteger seed for deterministic output. The same seed + identical request yields the same completion when supported by the provider. OpenAI honours it; Anthropic ignores.
n1Number of completions to generate in one call. Defaults to 1; each extra completion is billed.
stream_optionsStreaming options, e.g. `{ "include_usage": true }` to receive a final SSE chunk with usage counts. Effective only when `stream: true`.
stopUp to 4 sequences where the API will stop generating further tokens.
frequency_penalty0Between -2.0 and 2.0. Positive values penalize tokens that have appeared frequently.
presence_penalty0Between -2.0 and 2.0. Positive values encourage the model to talk about new topics.
userEnd-user identifier passed to the upstream provider for abuse / moderation tracking. Should be stable per end-user.
logit_biasPer-token logit bias `{ "<tokenId>": <-100..100>, ... }`. OpenAI-specific; Anthropic ignores silently.
messages[].content[].image_urlAttach an image on a user message. Pass a content block `{ "type": "image_url", "image_url": { "url": ... } }`. PNG / JPEG / WebP, up to 4 per request. Only models with `supportsImageInput: true` accept this block (e.g. `gpt-4o`, `claude-opus-4-7`).
Estimated over 30 days, for a typical message: ~500 input + ~150 output tokens, billed to the thousandth of a credit.
