See the free Radar BriefUpdated September 3, 2026. Public scores include evidence status and uncertainty. They are not guarantees for a specific workload.
Decision reading
GLM-4.7 has the higher public score, 60.91 versus 37.81, and the 90% score intervals do not overlap.
1 results are shared. Category rows based on different benchmark sets are marked directional and do not name a winner.
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.
Prompts that approach the documented context limit
Grok Code Fast 1
Grok Code Fast 1 has the larger documented context window.
Confidence: documented
Code generation, repair, and software-engineering tasks
Not enough matched evidence
The category averages use different weighted benchmark sets, so they are directional rather than like-for-like.
Confidence: limited
Tool use, computer use, and multi-step task completion
Not enough matched evidence
No shared weighted benchmark basis supports a winner.
Confidence: limited
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
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. Grok Code Fast 1 has no published cached-input rate, so cached tokens use its listed input rate. GLM-4.7 has no comparable published API token rate.
Confidence: rate-fallback
50K fresh input + 3K output tokens
Not enough matched evidence
A complete comparable API-rate estimate is not available for both models.
Confidence: listed-rates
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.
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.

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.

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.
1K fresh input + 500 output tokens
GLM-4.7 has no comparable published API token rate.
50K fresh input + 3K output tokens
GLM-4.7 has no comparable published API token rate.
200K cached + 20K fresh input + 10K output tokens
GLM-4.7 does not fit this workload in one request. Grok Code Fast 1 has no published cached-input rate, so cached tokens use its listed input rate. GLM-4.7 has no comparable published API token rate.
Sourced differences are shown directly. Missing facts stay explicit instead of being inferred from a model name or family.
Maximum documented context; output-token limits may be lower.

GLM-4.7 has the higher public score, 60.91 versus 37.81, and the 90% score intervals do not overlap. That is the clearest overall quality signal in the current public data.
The current coding averages use different weighted benchmark sets, so BenchLM does not name a winner from them. Read the shared benchmark rows directly and test the models on the same task set.
The published evidence does not provide a shared weighted agentic tasks basis for both models, so BenchLM does not name a agentic tasks winner.
Both models do not have comparable published API token rates, so this page does not name a universal price winner.
Grok Code Fast 1 has the larger documented context window: 256K, compared with 200K.
