GLM-4.6 vs Qwen2.5-Omni-7B

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.

Alibaba / Qwen

Qwen2.5-Omni-7B is a 7-billion-parameter end-to-end multimodal model from Alibaba, released in March 2025 as part of the Omni series designed to unify perception and generation across text, images, audio, and video in a single model architecture. Unlike pipeline-based multimodal systems, it processes all modalities end-to-end and can generate both text and speech outputs, targeting use cases in voice assistants, multimodal agents, and real-time interactive applications. Its compact size made it notable for on-device and resource-constrained multimodal deployments.
