GLM-4.7 vs Step 3.5 Flash

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

GLM-4.7 finishes one point ahead overall, 67 to 66. That is enough to call, but not enough to treat as a blowout. This matchup comes down to a few meaningful edges rather than one model dominating the board.

GLM-4.7's sharpest advantage is in agentic, where it averages 66.1 against 60.2. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is OSWorld-Verified, 61 to 54. Step 3.5 Flash does hit back in multilingual, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.

GLM-4.7 is the reasoning model in the pair, while Step 3.5 Flash 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. Step 3.5 Flash 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. Step 3.5 Flash only becomes the better choice if multilingual is the priority or you need the larger 256K context window.
