GLM-5 vs Seed-2.0-Mini

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

GLM-5 is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 65 to 53. 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 mathematics, where it averages 84.8 against 65.1. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is MMLU, 88 to 62. Seed-2.0-Mini does hit back in multimodal & grounded, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.

Seed-2.0-Mini gives you the larger context window at 256K, compared with 200K for GLM-5.

Quick Verdict

Pick GLM-5 if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Seed-2.0-Mini only becomes the better choice if multimodal & grounded is the priority or you need the larger 256K context window.
