GLM-5V-Turbo· GPT-5.1-Codex-Max

Quick Verdict

Pick GPT-5.1-Codex-Max if you want the stronger benchmark profile. GLM-5V-Turbo only becomes the better choice if you want the cheaper token bill or you would rather avoid the extra latency and token burn of a reasoning model.

GPT-5.1-Codex-Max is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 81 to 58. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

GPT-5.1-Codex-Max's sharpest advantage is in agentic, where it averages 86 against 58. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is BrowseComp, 51.9% to 85%.

GPT-5.1-Codex-Max is also the more expensive model on tokens at $2.00 input / $8.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $1.20 input / $4.00 output per 1M tokens for GLM-5V-Turbo. That is roughly 2.0x on output cost alone. GPT-5.1-Codex-Max is the reasoning model in the pair, while GLM-5V-Turbo 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. GPT-5.1-Codex-Max gives you the larger context window at 400K, compared with 200K for GLM-5V-Turbo.

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.
