GLM-4.7 vs Step-3.5-Flash

Zhipu AI

GLM-4.7, released by Zhipu AI on December 22, 2025, is a large language model with approximately 400 billion parameters from the GLM-4 family, designed for deep mathematical reasoning, multi-file software engineering, and stable agentic orchestration. It features a 200K token context window and 128K maximum output tokens, supporting extended code and analysis generation. GLM-4.7 targets advanced open-source deployments under an MIT license via Zhipu AI's Z.ai platform.

StepFun

Step-3.5-Flash, released by StepFun on February 2, 2026, is a Mixture-of-Experts large language model with 197 billion total parameters and approximately 11 billion active parameters per inference. It features a 256K token context window using a 3:1 sliding-window-to-full-attention ratio, processing 100–350 tokens per second. Step-3.5-Flash targets agentic tasks, coding workflows, and open-source deployments requiring frontier reasoning capabilities with efficient inference, under an Apache 2.0 license.
