GLM-5· GLM-5V-Turbo

Quick Verdict

GLM-5 makes more sense if agentic is the priority or you want the cheaper token bill, while GLM-5V-Turbo is the cleaner fit if its score, price, or context tradeoffs line up better with your workload.

GLM-5 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 is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 75 to 58. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

GLM-5's sharpest advantage is in agentic, where it averages 58.3 against 58. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is BrowseComp, 62% 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. That is roughly Infinityx on output cost alone.

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.
