Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
GPT-5 Mini offers 300.7K more tokens in context window than GLM-4.5 Air. GLM-4.5 Air is $24.90 cheaper per million tokens. GPT-5 Mini supports multimodal inputs. Both models have their strengths depending on your specific coding needs.
Zhipu AI
GLM-4.5 Air is a lightweight variant from Zhipu AI's GLM-4 model family, designed for efficient deployments requiring lower inference cost while maintaining strong language understanding and generation capabilities. It targets cost-sensitive production workloads, API integrations, and applications where the full GLM-4.x series capacity exceeds requirements.
OpenAI
GPT-5 mini, released by OpenAI in August 2025, is a smaller variant from the GPT-5 family that inherits GPT-5's unified reasoning architecture and multimodal capabilities at a reduced inference cost. It targets high-volume production use cases requiring a balance of intelligence and response speed, offering GPT-5 capabilities for applications where full GPT-5 inference costs are a concern.
