Not enough matched evidence
DeepSeek V3.2 and GLM-5V-Turbo are scored on Estimated evidence for coding, so the reading is directional rather than like-for-like.
Confidence: limitedAgentic work
Tool use, computer use, and multi-step task completion
Not enough matched evidence
DeepSeek V3.2 and GLM-5V-Turbo are not ranked on the public lane for agentic, so no winner is named for agentic.

Not enough matched evidence
The page does not recommend a cost winner because at least one model cannot fit the stated workload in one request. DeepSeek V3.2 does not fit this workload in one request. GLM-5V-Turbo does not fit this workload in one request. GLM-5V-Turbo has no published cached-input rate, so cached tokens use its listed input rate.

Which one for a specific job
Choose a job from the LLM Selector's task catalog to see the category row it rests on, under the same basis rules as the table below. A directional row stays directional; choosing a job never creates a winner.

What is actually comparable
Shared results can support a head-to-head reading. Results present for only one model describe coverage, not superiority.
5 DeepSeek V3.2 only
2 Shared
3 categories rest on Estimated evidence or different evidence sets. Those rows remain visible for coverage context but do not name a winner.
Shape of the matched evidence
Only shared public evidence is shown. Sparse evidence stays a ruled list rather than being closed into a radar shape.
A shared-evidence shape is not available.
BenchLM does not draw a radar or infer missing axes when the matched evidence is too sparse.
Category results, on a stated basis
Each row shows the public-lane category score for both models: the BenchAlign v5.7 lane for agentic, coding, and knowledge, and the weighted public rows elsewhere, with the same rank each model page reports. A row is like-for-like only when both scores rest on Supported evidence or the same weighted set. Directional and not-comparable rows remain visible, but they never receive a winner.

Ranks count the models scored in each category’s lane, so the agentic, coding, and knowledge denominators (BenchAlign v5.7) differ from the provisional-lane categories. Unranked scores sit on the provisional lane’s scale but never name a winner. Like-for-like rows within 0.5 points read as a practical tie.

What each workload costs
Three fixed token mixes turn per-token rates into comparable decisions. Each scenario states context fit and whether cached input had to fall back to the published list-input rate.

Questions
Which is better, DeepSeek V3.2 or GLM-5V-Turbo?
DeepSeek V3.2 has the higher public score estimate, 50.19 versus 48.87, but the 90% score intervals overlap. The higher estimate is not a decisive winner because the uncertainty ranges overlap.
Which is better for coding, DeepSeek V3.2 or GLM-5V-Turbo?
GLM-5V-Turbo scores higher for coding on the public lane, 34.1 to 32. DeepSeek V3.2 and GLM-5V-Turbo are scored on Estimated evidence for coding, so the reading is directional rather than like-for-like. BenchLM does not name a winner for coding from a directional reading; read the shared benchmark rows directly and test the models on the same task set.
Which is better for agentic tasks, DeepSeek V3.2 or GLM-5V-Turbo?
DeepSeek V3.2 and GLM-5V-Turbo are not ranked on the public lane for agentic tasks, so no winner is named for agentic tasks.
Which costs less, DeepSeek V3.2 or GLM-5V-Turbo?
For the stated presets, chat costs $0.00049 on DeepSeek V3.2 and $0.0032 on GLM-5V-Turbo; repository review costs $0.01526 and $0.072; the cache-heavy agent loop costs $0.0154 and $0.304. DeepSeek V3.2 does not fit this workload in one request. GLM-5V-Turbo does not fit this workload in one request. GLM-5V-Turbo has no published cached-input rate, so cached tokens use its listed input rate.
Which has the larger context window, DeepSeek V3.2 or GLM-5V-Turbo?
GLM-5V-Turbo has the larger documented context window: 200K, compared with 128K.
