GLM 4.7 Flash vs GPT-5.1-Codex-Mini
Updated October 21, 2026. 14 benchmarks have a result for both. Coding is ranked on the Vibe Coding Index; every other board is shown as published.
Decision reading
Neither model has a coding score yet, so the two cannot be ranked on coding.
GLM 4.7 Flash has the edge where output tokens cost 5.0x less, and where what matters is Terminal-Bench Hard (Artificial Analysis run) or AA Intelligence Index, where it leads.
