GLM-4.5 vs K-Exaone

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

K-Exaone is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 49 to 36. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

K-Exaone's sharpest advantage is in coding, where it averages 49.4 against 14.9. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is SWE-bench Verified, 18% to 49.4%.

K-Exaone is the reasoning model in the pair, while GLM-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. K-Exaone gives you the larger context window at 256K, compared with 128K for GLM-4.5.

Quick Verdict

Pick K-Exaone if you want the stronger benchmark profile. GLM-4.5 only becomes the better choice if you would rather avoid the extra latency and token burn of a reasoning model.
