Why this result

GLM-4.7 is clearly ahead on the provisional aggregate, 63 to 34. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

GLM-4.7's sharpest advantage is in knowledge, where it averages 52.1 against 20.5. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is MMLU-Pro, 84.3% to 19.3%.

GLM-4.7 is the reasoning model in the pair, while LFM2.5-VL-450M 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. GLM-4.7 gives you the larger context window at 200K, compared with 128K for LFM2.5-VL-450M.
