GLM-4.7 vs Seed 1.6

Side-by-side benchmark comparison across agentic, coding, multimodal, knowledge, reasoning, and math workflows.

GLM-4.7 has the cleaner overall profile here, landing at 67 versus 65. It is a real lead, but still close enough that category-level strengths matter more than the headline number.

GLM-4.7's sharpest advantage is in mathematics, where it averages 85 against 75.9. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is HumanEval, 78 to 64. Seed 1.6 does hit back in multimodal & grounded, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.

Seed 1.6 gives you the larger context window at 256K, compared with 200K for GLM-4.7.

Quick Verdict

Pick GLM-4.7 if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Seed 1.6 only becomes the better choice if multimodal & grounded is the priority or you need the larger 256K context window.
