GLM-5 (Reasoning)· GLM-5V-Turbo

Quick Verdict

GLM-5 (Reasoning) makes more sense if agentic is the priority or you want the cheaper token bill, while GLM-5V-Turbo is the cleaner fit if you would rather avoid the extra latency and token burn of a reasoning model.

GLM-5 (Reasoning) and GLM-5V-Turbo sit in the same GLM-5 family. This page is less about two unrelated model lineages and more about how the siblings trade off on benchmark shape, token costs, and practical limits like context window.

GLM-5 (Reasoning) is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 82 to 58. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

GLM-5 (Reasoning)'s sharpest advantage is in agentic, where it averages 78.3 against 58. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is BrowseComp, 80% to 51.9%.

GLM-5V-Turbo is also the more expensive model on tokens at $1.20 input / $4.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.00 input / $0.00 output per 1M tokens for GLM-5 (Reasoning). That is roughly Infinityx on output cost alone. GLM-5 (Reasoning) is the reasoning model in the pair, while GLM-5V-Turbo 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.

Decision framing

BenchLM keeps the benchmark table and the operator tradeoffs on the same page so a better score does not hide a materially slower, pricier, or smaller-context model.

Runtime metrics show N/A when BenchLM does not have a sourced snapshot for that exact model. The scoring rules and freshness policy are documented on the methodology page.
