GLM5.3 costs $1.40/M on openrouter. 5.2M tokens per day is $7.28/day, which makes break-even take 83 days.

But let's compare apples to almost-apples! Qwen3.8 flash next is $0.47/M on openrouter, so $2.44 per day, so 246 days to break even. I say almost-apples because on this $600 system we're running an IQ3_S quantization. The hosted model is running... nobody knows what quant. It probably varies bases on the time of day.
