GLM-4.5· LFM2.5-350M

Quick Verdict

Pick GLM-4.5 if you want the stronger benchmark profile. LFM2.5-350M only becomes the better choice if instruction following is the priority.

GLM-4.5 has the cleaner overall profile here, landing at 41 versus 39. It is a real lead, but still close enough that category-level strengths matter more than the headline number.

GLM-4.5's sharpest advantage is in knowledge, where it averages 32.1 against 23.8. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is MMLU-Pro, 51% to 20.0%. LFM2.5-350M does hit back in instruction following, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.

GLM-4.5 gives you the larger context window at 128K, compared with 32K for LFM2.5-350M.

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.
