GLM-5 (Reasoning)
According to BenchLM.ai, GLM-5 (Reasoning) ranks #21 out of 119 models on the provisional leaderboard with an overall score of 80/100. It does not yet have enough sourced coverage for BenchLM's verified leaderboard. This places it in the mid-tier of AI models, with strengths in specific benchmark categories.
GLM-5 (Reasoning) is a open weight model with a 200K token context window. It uses explicit chain-of-thought reasoning, which typically improves performance on math and complex reasoning tasks at the cost of higher latency and token usage.
GLM-5 (Reasoning) sits inside the GLM-5 family alongside GLM-5, GLM-5.1, GLM-5V-Turbo, GLM-5-Turbo. This profile currently has 1 of 225 tracked benchmarks. BenchLM only exposes non-generated benchmark rows publicly, so missing categories stay blank until a sourced evaluation is available.
Its strongest category is Reasoning (#10), while its weakest is Coding (#37). This performance profile makes it particularly strong for complex reasoning, multi-step problem solving, and analytical tasks.
