GLM-5 (Reasoning) vs Interfaze Beta

Updated August 10, 2026. Public scores include evidence status and uncertainty. They are not guarantees for a specific workload.

GLM-5 (Reasoning)

Z.AI

59.0/100

Estimated · Public rank #63

90% interval 47.5–70.5

Interfaze Beta

Interfaze

Evidence status unavailable

90% interval unavailable

The public evidence has no benchmark result shared by both models, so it does not support a quality verdict. Use the documented cost, context, and runtime rows instead.

0 results are shared. Category rows based on different benchmark sets are marked directional and do not name a winner.

Which one for your work

Recommendations appear only when a shared evidence basis or an explicit operating constraint supports the call. Secondary and unsupported use cases stay disclosed below the initial list.

  • Long documents

    Prompts that approach the documented context limit

    Interfaze Beta

    Interfaze Beta has the larger documented context window.

    Confidence: documented

  • Chat turn cost

    1K fresh input + 500 output tokens

    GLM-5 (Reasoning)

    GLM-5 (Reasoning) has the lower estimated token cost for this stated workload. Costs use the listed standard API rates.

    Confidence: listed-rates

  • Repository review cost

    50K fresh input + 3K output tokens

    GLM-5 (Reasoning)

    GLM-5 (Reasoning) has the lower estimated token cost for this stated workload. Costs use the listed standard API rates.

    Confidence: listed-rates

  • Coding work

    Code generation, repair, and software-engineering tasks

    Not enough matched evidence

    No shared weighted benchmark basis supports a winner.

    Confidence: limited

  • Agentic work

    Tool use, computer use, and multi-step task completion

    Not enough matched evidence

    No shared weighted benchmark basis supports a winner.

    Confidence: limited

  • Cache-heavy agent loop cost

    200K cached + 20K fresh input + 10K output tokens

    Not enough matched evidence

    The page does not recommend a cost winner because at least one model cannot fit the stated workload in one request. GLM-5 (Reasoning) does not fit this workload in one request. GLM-5 (Reasoning) has no published cached-input rate, so cached tokens use its listed input rate. Interfaze Beta has no published cached-input rate, so cached tokens use its listed input rate.

    Confidence: rate-fallback

What is actually comparable

Shared results can support a head-to-head reading. Results present for only one model describe coverage, not superiority.

Category results, on a stated basis

Each row states whether both averages use the same weighted benchmark set. Directional and not-comparable rows remain visible, but they never receive a winner in this template.

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.

A shared-evidence shape is not available.

BenchLM does not draw a radar or infer missing axes when the matched evidence is too sparse.

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.

If you already use one of these models
Deployment change
The models list different providers, so authentication, endpoint behavior, limits, and feature support may change.
Quality signal
The public evidence has no benchmark result shared by both models, so it does not support a quality verdict.
Workload cost
Repository review: $0.0596 vs $0.0855. Cache-heavy agent loop: $0.252 vs $0.365.
Context tradeoff
Interfaze Beta has the larger documented window (1M).

Run the same representative tasks against both endpoints before changing production traffic.

Frequently asked questions

Which is better, GLM-5 (Reasoning) or Interfaze Beta?

The public evidence has no benchmark result shared by both models, so it does not support a quality verdict. The page therefore keeps the decision tied to the specific documented workload.

Which is better for coding, GLM-5 (Reasoning) or Interfaze Beta?

The published evidence does not provide a shared weighted coding basis for both models, so BenchLM does not name a coding winner.

Which is better for agentic tasks, GLM-5 (Reasoning) or Interfaze Beta?

The published evidence does not provide a shared weighted agentic tasks basis for both models, so BenchLM does not name a agentic tasks winner.

Which costs less, GLM-5 (Reasoning) or Interfaze Beta?

For the stated presets, chat costs $0.0026 on GLM-5 (Reasoning) and $0.00325 on Interfaze Beta; repository review costs $0.0596 and $0.0855; the cache-heavy agent loop costs $0.252 and $0.365. GLM-5 (Reasoning) does not fit this workload in one request. GLM-5 (Reasoning) has no published cached-input rate, so cached tokens use its listed input rate. Interfaze Beta has no published cached-input rate, so cached tokens use its listed input rate.

Which has the larger context window, GLM-5 (Reasoning) or Interfaze Beta?

Interfaze Beta has the larger documented context window: 1M, compared with 200K.
