Where each one wins

Tests won in each of the two areas where both have results. Each piece is one test, so a longer bar means more evidence; grey means the two scored within a point of each other.

Coding and reasoning rest on a single test each.

The biggest differences

The tests each model wins by the widest margin, up to three each. Scores are out of 100.

Questions people ask

Which is better, DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp-Base or GLM-4.5-Base?

GLM-4.5-Base wins all two areas where both have results: coding and reasoning. DeepSeek-V3.2-Exp-Base wins none.

Which is better for coding?

GLM-4.5-Base. It wins the one coding test both models report.

How do you compare the two?

We use the 33 benchmark tests both models have published scores on. The verdict counts the 2 tests in the eight capability areas, and a gap under one point (ten on rating-style scales) counts as a tie. The other 31 are listed but not counted, because several are summary scores or repeat a test. Each score is the one shown on the model's own page.
