GLM-4.7 vs GPT-5.6 Sol

Updated August 10, 2026. Public scores include evidence status and uncertainty. They are not guarantees for a specific workload.

90% interval 46.8–74.0

GPT-5.6 Sol

OpenAI

81.5/100

Supported · Public rank #4

90% interval 77.7–85.3

GPT-5.6 Sol has the higher public score, 81.48 versus 60.43, and the 90% score intervals do not overlap.

5 results are shared. Category rows based on different benchmark sets are marked directional and do not name a winner.

Which one for your work

Recommendations appear only when a shared evidence basis or an explicit operating constraint supports the call. Secondary and unsupported use cases stay disclosed below the initial list.

  • Agentic work

    Confidence: limited

  • Chat turn cost

    1K fresh input + 500 output tokens

    Not enough matched evidence

    A complete comparable API-rate estimate is not available for both models.

    Confidence: listed-rates

  • Cache-heavy agent loop cost

    200K cached + 20K fresh input + 10K output tokens

    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. GLM-4.7 does not fit this workload in one request. GLM-4.7 has no comparable published API token rate.

    Confidence: listed-rates

  • Repository review cost

    50K fresh input + 3K output tokens

What is actually comparable

Shared results can support a head-to-head reading. Results present for only one model describe coverage, not superiority.

1 category uses different evidence sets. Those rows remain visible for coverage context but do not name a winner.

Category results, on a stated basis

Each row states whether both averages use the same weighted benchmark set. Directional and not-comparable rows remain visible, but they never receive a winner in this template.

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.

Too few matched category axes support a radar. The ruled list below shows only shared benchmark results; positions use each benchmark’s normalized display scale when available.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Which is better, GLM-4.7 or GPT-5.6 Sol?

GPT-5.6 Sol has the higher public score, 81.48 versus 60.43, and the 90% score intervals do not overlap. That is the clearest overall quality signal in the current public data.

Which is better for coding, GLM-4.7 or GPT-5.6 Sol?

The published evidence does not provide a shared weighted coding basis for both models, so BenchLM does not name a coding winner.

Which is better for agentic tasks, GLM-4.7 or GPT-5.6 Sol?

GPT-5.6 Sol leads the like-for-like agentic tasks comparison across 2 shared weighted benchmark rows.

Which costs less, GLM-4.7 or GPT-5.6 Sol?

Both models do not have comparable published API token rates, so this page does not name a universal price winner.

Which has the larger context window, GLM-4.7 or GPT-5.6 Sol?

GPT-5.6 Sol has the larger documented context window: 1.05M, compared with 200K.
