GLM 5.1 Inference Benchmark
We benchmarked our GLM 5.1 endpoint against every GLM 5.1 provider listed on OpenRouter. Competitive throughput at the lowest per-token price in the comparison.
How Idle GPUs Make Cheap Inference Possible
Lilac serves Kimi K2.5 inference on idle enterprise GPUs and landed at the lowest price in Lilac's current comparable-speed OpenRouter benchmark snapshot.
GPU Inference API Pricing Compared
A direct comparison of GPU inference API pricing across major providers. How idle GPU economics enable Lilac to offer lower per-token rates.
