DeepSeek V3.2 (Thinking)· GLM-5V-Turbo

Quick Verdict

Pick DeepSeek V3.2 (Thinking) if you want the stronger benchmark profile. GLM-5V-Turbo only becomes the better choice if you need the larger 200K context window or you would rather avoid the extra latency and token burn of a reasoning model.

DeepSeek V3.2 (Thinking) is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 68 to 58. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

DeepSeek V3.2 (Thinking)'s sharpest advantage is in agentic, where it averages 69.4 against 58. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is BrowseComp, 70% to 51.9%.

GLM-5V-Turbo is also the more expensive model on tokens at $1.20 input / $4.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.00 input / $0.00 output per 1M tokens for DeepSeek V3.2 (Thinking). That is roughly Infinityx on output cost alone. DeepSeek V3.2 (Thinking) is the reasoning model in the pair, while GLM-5V-Turbo 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. GLM-5V-Turbo gives you the larger context window at 200K, compared with 128K for DeepSeek V3.2 (Thinking).

Decision framing

BenchLM keeps the benchmark table and the operator tradeoffs on the same page so a better score does not hide a materially slower, pricier, or smaller-context model.

Runtime metrics show N/A when BenchLM does not have a sourced snapshot for that exact model. The scoring rules and freshness policy are documented on the methodology page.
