Why this result
Claude Haiku 4.5 has the cleaner BenchAlign overall profile here, landing at 56.58 versus 55.12. It is a real lead, but still close enough that category-level strengths matter more than the headline number.
Claude Haiku 4.5's sharpest advantage is in mathematics, where it averages 4.9 against 3.4. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is FrontierMath v2 (Tiers 1-3), 5.903% to 3.819%.
GLM-4.6 is the reasoning model in the pair, while Claude Haiku 4.5 is not. That usually helps on harder chain-of-thought-heavy tests, but it can also mean more latency and more token spend in real use.
