## What the numbers say

Take 1,000,000 requests a month at 1,200 input and 350 output tokens each. That workload costs $390 a month on OpenAI GPT-OSS 120B and $1,240 on GLM 4.7 FP8 at list: a gap of $850, or 3.2x.

GLM 4.7 FP8 reads 198K tokens per request against 128K for OpenAI GPT-OSS 120B, 1.5x the window. That decides which one can take whole documents without splitting them.

## Choose OpenAI GPT-OSS 120B for

- The lower list price ($0.15 in / $0.60 out per M tokens)

## Choose GLM 4.7 FP8 for

- The longer context window (198K vs 128K tokens)
- Fine-tuning under a permissive license (MIT)
