Pick GLM-4.7 if you want the stronger benchmark profile. MiniMax M2.7 only becomes the better choice if agentic is the priority or you would rather avoid the extra latency and token burn of a reasoning model.

GLM-4.7 is clearly ahead on the provisional aggregate, 69 to 62. 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 coding, where it averages 70.6 against 53.7. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is Terminal-Bench 2.0, 41% to 57%. MiniMax M2.7 does hit back in agentic, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.
MiniMax M2.7 is also the more expensive model on tokens at $0.30 input / $1.20 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.00 input / $0.00 output per 1M tokens for GLM-4.7. That is roughly Infinityx on output cost alone. GLM-4.7 is the reasoning model in the pair, while MiniMax M2.7 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 is ahead on BenchLM's provisional leaderboard, 69 to 62. The biggest single separator in this matchup is Terminal-Bench 2.0, where the scores are 41% and 57%.
GLM-4.7 has the edge for coding in this comparison, averaging 70.6 versus 53.7. Inside this category, SWE-Rebench is the benchmark that creates the most daylight between them.
MiniMax M2.7 has the edge for agentic tasks in this comparison, averaging 57 versus 45.3. Inside this category, Terminal-Bench 2.0 is the benchmark that creates the most daylight between them.
