Composer 2 vs GLM-5

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

GLM-5 has the cleaner overall profile here, landing at 64 versus 62. It is a real lead, but still close enough that category-level strengths matter more than the headline number.

Composer 2 is also the more expensive model on tokens at $0.50 input / $2.50 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.00 input / $0.00 output per 1M tokens for GLM-5. That is roughly Infinityx on output cost alone. Composer 2 is the reasoning model in the pair, while GLM-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.

Quick Verdict

Pick GLM-5 if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Composer 2 only becomes the better choice if agentic is the priority or you want the stronger reasoning-first profile.
