Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
. Both models have their strengths depending on your specific coding needs.
Zhipu AI
GLM-4.6, released by Zhipu AI in September 2025, is a large language model with approximately 357 billion parameters from the GLM-4 family, featuring an expanded 200K token context window. It supports strong mathematical reasoning, coding, and agentic orchestration tasks. GLM-4.6 targets enterprise-ready open-source deployments under an MIT license, with availability through Zhipu AI's Z.ai platform.
NVIDIA
Llama-3.1-Nemotron-Ultra-253B-v1 is a 253-billion-parameter model from NVIDIA, derived from Meta's Llama 3.1 405B using neural architecture search (NAS) compression combined with NVIDIA's Nemotron post-training pipeline, which recovers and exceeds the base model's capability after structural compression. Released in April 2025, it supports toggling between a standard instruction mode and an extended reasoning mode via system prompt, allowing the same model to handle both rapid responses and deliberate chain-of-thought tasks. It is the flagship of the Nemotron family, available open-weight on HuggingFace and through NVIDIA NIM for enterprise inference.
