Decision reading
GLM-5.1 has the higher public point estimate, 57.76 versus 28.63. Their conditional score ranges do not overlap. These ranges do not establish rank confidence. 7 results are shared. Category rows resting on Estimated evidence or different benchmark sets are marked directional and do not name a winner.

The page does not recommend a cost winner because at least one model cannot fit the stated workload in one request. GLM-5.1 does not fit this workload in one request. GLM-5.1 has no published cached-input rate, so cached tokens use its listed input rate. Ornith-1.5-9B has no comparable published API token rate.

What is actually comparable
Shared results can support a head-to-head reading. Results present for only one model describe coverage, not superiority.
19 GLM-5.1 only
7 Shared
9 Ornith-1.5-9B only
2 categories rest on Estimated evidence or different evidence sets. Those rows remain visible for coverage context but do not name a winner.
Shape of the matched evidence
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.

Category results, on a stated basis
Each row shows the public-lane category score for both models: the BenchAlign v5.8 lane for agentic, coding, and knowledge, and the weighted public rows elsewhere, with the same rank each model page reports. A row is like-for-like only when both scores rest on Supported evidence or the same weighted set. Directional and not-comparable rows remain visible, but they never receive a winner.

Ranks count the models scored in each category’s lane, so the agentic, coding, and knowledge denominators (BenchAlign v5.8) differ from the provisional-lane categories. Unranked scores sit on the provisional lane’s scale but never name a winner. Like-for-like rows within 0.5 points read as a practical tie.

What each workload costs
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.

Questions
Which is better, GLM-5.1 or Ornith-1.5-9B?
GLM-5.1 has the higher public point estimate, 57.76 versus 28.63. Their conditional score ranges do not overlap. These ranges do not establish rank confidence. The page therefore keeps the decision tied to the specific documented workload.
Which is better for coding, GLM-5.1 or Ornith-1.5-9B?
Ornith-1.5-9B is not ranked on the public lane for coding, so no winner is named for coding.
Which is better for agentic tasks, GLM-5.1 or Ornith-1.5-9B?
GLM-5.1 scores higher for agentic tasks on the public lane, 42.3 to 18. GLM-5.1 and Ornith-1.5-9B are scored on Estimated evidence for agentic tasks, so the reading is directional rather than like-for-like. BenchLM does not name a winner for agentic tasks from a directional reading; read the shared benchmark rows directly and test the models on the same task set.
Which costs less, GLM-5.1 or Ornith-1.5-9B?
Both models do not have comparable published API token rates, so this page does not name a universal price winner.
Which has the larger context window, GLM-5.1 or Ornith-1.5-9B?
Ornith-1.5-9B has the larger documented context window: 262K, compared with 203K.
