GLM-5 vs Aion-2.0

Side-by-side benchmark comparison across agentic, coding, multimodal, knowledge, reasoning, and math workflows.

GLM-5 is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 65 to 58. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

GLM-5's sharpest advantage is in mathematics, where it averages 84.8 against 72.1. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is Terminal-Bench 2.0, 63 to 48. Aion-2.0 does hit back in instruction following, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.

GLM-5 gives you the larger context window at 200K, compared with 128K for Aion-2.0.

Quick Verdict

Pick GLM-5 if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Aion-2.0 only becomes the better choice if instruction following is the priority.
