GLM-5· Holo3-35B-A3B

Quick Verdict

Pick Holo3-35B-A3B if you want the stronger benchmark profile. GLM-5 only becomes the better choice if you want the cheaper token bill or you need the larger 200K context window.

Holo3-35B-A3B has the cleaner overall profile here, landing at 78 versus 75. It is a real lead, but still close enough that category-level strengths matter more than the headline number.

Holo3-35B-A3B's sharpest advantage is in agentic, where it averages 77.8 against 58.3. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is OSWorld-Verified, 58% to 77.8%.

Holo3-35B-A3B is also the more expensive model on tokens at $0.25 input / $1.80 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. GLM-5 gives you the larger context window at 200K, compared with 64K for Holo3-35B-A3B.

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.
