How this price is scoped: Fireworks' own serverless rate card prints three separate GLM 5.3 rates and this row carries the Standard one. The table's cell order is input / cached input / output: GLM 5.3 Standard $1.40 / $0.26 / $4.40, Priority $1.75 / $0.325 / $5.50, and a distinct 'GLM 5.3 Fast' SKU at $2.10 / $0.39 / $6.60. We carry Standard because that is the rate the base SKU serves by default, the same choice already made for fireworks-glm-5-2. Fireworks publishes NO context column on this card (see scripts/host_context_cards.json unreadable_hosts), so the 1M window here is the SKU's native window and not a served-window claim read off the host.
