o4-mini leads on more of the 6 benchmarks where both are measured — GLM-5 on 2, o4-mini on 4. The remaining 3 of 9 tracked benchmarks cannot be compared: 3 have a result for only one of the two models, 0 for neither. Nothing on this page is estimated to fill those in.
Head-to-head
Measured on 6 of 9 tracked benchmarks for both models — GLM-5 leads on 2, o4-mini leads on 4.
