Pick GLM-5 if you want the stronger benchmark profile. MiMo-V2.5 only becomes the better choice if agentic is the priority or you need the larger 1M context window.

Confidence note. This is a partial-evidence comparison with 5 shared benchmark results across 3 evidence categories; 2 of 8 categories currently have scoreable aggregates for both models. Treat the verdict as directional until coverage is more balanced.

Why this result

GLM-5 is clearly ahead on the BenchAlign aggregate, 66.06 to 58.62. 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 coding, where it averages 66.3 against 56.1. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is Terminal-Bench 2.0, 56.2% to 65.8%. MiMo-V2.5 does hit back in agentic, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.

MiMo-V2.5 is the reasoning model in the pair, while GLM-5 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. MiMo-V2.5 gives you the larger context window at 1M, compared with 200K for GLM-5.
