Strongest published evidence
Published rows are visible, but no category has enough eligible evidence for a comparative rank.
Validate before choosing
1 published rows leave some tracked benchmark slots empty. Independent runtime speed has not been measured.
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.

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.

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.

Benchmark ledger
Coding opens by default. The marker compares each value with the best source-verified result in the catalog; provisional leaders do not set the reference. Expand the remaining categories for every published row.

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.

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 (Reasoning) ranks #70 of 231 on the public leaderboard with a score of 60.92/100. It does not yet have enough sourced coverage for a verified position.
GLM-5 (Reasoning) 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.
GLM-5 (Reasoning) sits in the GLM-5 family with GLM-5, GLM-5.2, GLM-5.1, GLM-5.3, GLM-5.3-Flash, GLM-5-Turbo, GLM-5V-Turbo. 1 of 417 tracked benchmark slots currently have displayable evidence. Missing categories stay blank.
Frequently asked questions
How does GLM-5 (Reasoning) perform overall in AI benchmarks?
GLM-5 (Reasoning) ranks #70 out of 231 models on the public BenchAlign leaderboard, with a score of 60.92/100. Its evidence status is Estimated, and this profile shows 1 source-displayable benchmark row. The label describes evidence depth, not a provider quality claim; inspect category rows before choosing a workload.
Is GLM-5 (Reasoning) good for coding and programming?
GLM-5 (Reasoning) has source-displayable benchmark coverage for coding and programming, 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 (Reasoning) open source?
GLM-5 (Reasoning) 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 (Reasoning)?
GLM-5 (Reasoning) belongs to the GLM-5 family. Related tracked variants include GLM-5, GLM-5.2, GLM-5.1, 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 (Reasoning) have full benchmark coverage on BenchLM?
No. GLM-5 (Reasoning) currently has 2 source-displayable rows across 417 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 (Reasoning)?
GLM-5 (Reasoning) 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.
