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.
Mistral AI
Mistral Small 3 is a 24-billion-parameter open-weight language model from Mistral AI, released in January 2025 as an update to the Mistral Small line with targeted improvements to instruction-following, multilingual reasoning, and structured output quality. Released under Apache 2.0, it was designed for deployment on a single high-VRAM GPU, continuing Mistral's focus on practical efficiency over maximum scale. The model became a widely-used option for teams building internal tooling, customer-facing applications, and local inference pipelines that needed strong general capability without the operational overhead of larger models.
