GLM 4.6V vs o1
o1 leads GLM 4.6V on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, 15.2 to 11.2, and GLM 4.6V costs 66.7x less per output token ($0.90 vs $60.00 per million). Updated October 21, 2026; 32 benchmarks have a result for both.
GLM 4.6V or o1: which to pick
Neither model has a coding score yet, so the two cannot be ranked on coding.
Pick GLM 4.6V for output tokens 66.7x cheaper ($0.90 vs $60.00 per million) and work measured by LiveCodeBench (Artificial Analysis run) or AA Intelligence Index, where it leads.

Questions
Is GLM 4.6V better than o1 for coding?
Neither model has a coding score yet, so the two cannot be ranked on coding. Pick GLM 4.6V for output tokens 66.7x cheaper ($0.90 vs $60.00 per million) and work measured by LiveCodeBench (Artificial Analysis run) or AA Intelligence Index, where it leads.
Which is cheaper, GLM 4.6V or o1?
GLM 4.6V costs $0.30 per million input tokens and $0.90 per million output tokens; o1 costs $15.00 and $60.00. Cost per solved task is known for neither of them.
Which has the bigger context window, GLM 4.6V or o1?
o1, with 200K tokens against 131K.
How many benchmarks is the GLM 4.6V vs o1 comparison based on?
32 benchmarks have a result for both models as of October 21, 2026. GLM 4.6V's coding index rests on 0 independent benchmarks and o1's on 0. Where only one model has a result, the page says so instead of naming a winner.
