What it costs to get this score

Published API price against the public score. The x-axis uses a log scale; the dashed path marks models that are not beaten by a cheaper, higher-scoring option. Price uses average of published input and output rates.

Lineage

The sequence follows explicit supersedes links. Each score is estimated for that model; a relative can inform a sparse estimate but never sets a floor, so a newer release can score below an earlier one. Scores and prices remain blank when the corresponding public row or first-party rate is unavailable.

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-5 ranks #69 of 224 on the public leaderboard with a score of 54.84/100. Its source-verified position is #44 of 88.

GLM-5 is a open weight model with a 200K context window. No explicit reasoning mode is documented in this profile.

GLM-5 sits in the GLM-5 family with GLM-5.2, GLM-5.1, GLM-5.3-Flash, GLM-5.3, GLM-5-Turbo, GLM-5V-Turbo, GLM-5 (Reasoning). 38 of 681 tracked benchmark slots currently have displayable evidence. Missing categories stay blank.

Its strongest eligible category is Multilingual at #6, while its lowest eligible position is Knowledge at #79. a well-rounded choice across a range of tasks.

Last updated October 17, 2026. Runtime fields remain blank until a sourced snapshot exists.

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.

Questions

How does GLM-5 perform overall in AI benchmarks?

GLM-5 ranks #69 out of 224 models on the public BenchAlign leaderboard, with a score of 54.84/100. Its evidence status is Supported, and this profile shows 38 source-displayable benchmark rows. The label describes evidence depth, not a provider quality claim; inspect category rows before choosing a workload.

Is GLM-5 good for knowledge and understanding?

GLM-5 ranks #79 out of 184 eligible models for knowledge and understanding, with a public category score of 50.4/100. 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-5 good for coding and programming?

GLM-5 ranks #70 out of 150 eligible models for coding and programming, with a public category score of 38/100. 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-5 good for mathematics?

GLM-5 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-5 good for reasoning and logic?

GLM-5 has source-displayable benchmark coverage for reasoning and logic, 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-5 good for agentic tool use and computer tasks?

GLM-5 ranks #63 out of 128 eligible models for agentic tool use and computer tasks, with a public category score of 41.5/100. 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-5 good for instruction following?

GLM-5 ranks #35 out of 148 eligible models for instruction following, with a public category score of 88.6/100. 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-5 good for multilingual tasks?

GLM-5 ranks #6 out of 17 eligible models for multilingual tasks, with a public category score of 89.5/100. That places it in the current top ten for this category. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.

Is GLM-5 open source?

GLM-5 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.

Which sibling models are related to GLM-5?

GLM-5 belongs to the GLM-5 family. Related tracked variants include GLM-5.2, GLM-5.1, GLM-5.3-Flash, plus 4 more. A sibling link indicates shared lineage or a documented configuration relationship; it does not mean the variants have identical pricing, context limits, benchmark evidence, or deployment behavior. Compare before switching.

Does GLM-5 have full benchmark coverage on BenchLM?

No. GLM-5 currently has 50 source-displayable rows across 681 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-5?

GLM-5 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.
