Data as of September 4, 2026 · How the score is built

Strongest published evidence

Coding ranks #84. Particularly well-suited for software development and code generation tasks.

Validate before choosing

3 published rows leave some tracked benchmark slots empty. No comparable first-party API token rate is published.

Decision snapshot

Each value carries a field reference instead of floating alone. Markers compare this model with the current ranked and priced catalog; they are not absolute quality thresholds.

How much of this is verified

Coverage is split by category so a strong number never hides a thin evidence base. Verified means the row is tied to a published source; provisional rows remain visible but separate.

Deployment options

Self-host and provider-specific paths stay separate from benchmark evidence so operating constraints are visible before a score becomes the whole decision.

Published weights are available, but BenchLM does not yet have a sourced parameter and VRAM profile for this exact model. Hardware cost estimates stay unavailable until that sizing record is complete.

Lineage

The sequence follows explicit supersedes links. A successor's displayed score stays at least 0.1 points above its predecessor; raw benchmark rows do not move. Scores and prices remain blank when the corresponding public row or first-party rate is unavailable.

Base entry

How to read this profile

The visual layer above carries the decisions. These notes preserve the model, ranking, coverage, and family context behind the numbers.

GLM-4.6 ranks #107 of 232 on the public leaderboard with a score of 53.94/100. Its source-verified position is #70 of 130.

GLM-4.6 is a open weight model with a 200K context window. It uses an explicit reasoning mode, which can improve complex problem solving while adding latency and token use.

Tracked from Vals.ai Vibe Code Bench v1.1 exact leaderboard data. Kept unranked until broader benchmark coverage is available.

3 of 422 tracked benchmark slots currently have displayable evidence. Missing categories stay blank.

Its strongest eligible category is Coding at #84. particularly well-suited for software development and code generation tasks.

Frequently asked questions

How does GLM-4.6 perform overall in AI benchmarks?

GLM-4.6 ranks #107 out of 232 models on the public BenchAlign leaderboard, with a score of 53.94/100. Its evidence status is Supported, and this profile shows 3 source-displayable benchmark rows. The label describes evidence depth, not a provider quality claim; inspect category rows before choosing a workload.

Is GLM-4.6 good for coding and programming?

GLM-4.6 ranks #84 out of 183 eligible models for coding and programming, with a public category score of 48.8/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.

Is GLM-4.6 good for mathematics?

GLM-4.6 has source-displayable benchmark coverage for mathematics, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.

Is GLM-4.6 open source?

GLM-4.6 is an open-weight model from Z.AI. Its weights can be downloaded for local or hosted deployment, subject to the published license. Open weight does not automatically mean open source: training data and training code may remain private, and commercial restrictions can still apply.

Does GLM-4.6 have full benchmark coverage on BenchLM?

No. GLM-4.6 currently has 14 source-displayable rows across 422 tracked benchmark slots. The profile exposes published, non-generated evidence and leaves missing categories blank until an exact evaluation is available. Coverage describes how much was measured; it is not a penalty added to an individual benchmark result.

What is the context window size of GLM-4.6?

GLM-4.6 has a reported context window of 200K in the exact-model catalog record. The value stays visible, but the profile marks its source link as unavailable instead of presenting it as directly documented. Maximum output length remains separate because providers often publish a different limit.
