GLM-5 (Reasoning) vs Ministral 3 14B

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

GLM-5 (Reasoning) is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 78 to 55. 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 48.4. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is Terminal-Bench 2.0, 81 to 48.

GLM-5 (Reasoning) is the reasoning model in the pair, while Ministral 3 14B 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. GLM-5 (Reasoning) gives you the larger context window at 200K, compared with 128K for Ministral 3 14B.

Quick Verdict

Pick GLM-5 (Reasoning) if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Ministral 3 14B only becomes the better choice if you would rather avoid the extra latency and token burn of a reasoning model.
