Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
GPT-4.1 nano offers 876.2K more tokens in context window than GLM 5. GPT-4.1 nano is $2.86 cheaper per million tokens. GPT-4.1 nano supports multimodal inputs. Both models have their strengths depending on your specific coding needs.
Zhipu AI
GLM-5 is a large language model from Zhipu AI with 745 billion total parameters and 44 billion active parameters per inference, designed for agentic intelligence, advanced reasoning, and frontier-level performance. It features a 200K token context window and targets complex multi-step tasks requiring sustained reasoning and tool use. GLM-5 is available via Zhipu AI's Z.ai platform under an MIT license.
OpenAI
GPT-4.1 nano is OpenAI's smallest member of the GPT-4.1 family, released in April 2025 alongside GPT-4.1 and GPT-4.1 mini as the latency-optimized, cost-minimized option for high-throughput applications. Positioned below GPT-4.1 mini in both size and cost, it was designed for use cases where speed and affordability dominate over raw capability — including tool calling, intent classification, short-form instruction following, and retrieval-augmented lookup tasks. Unlike its larger siblings, it supports fine-tuning, making it a practical candidate for task-specific customization at scale without incurring the cost of fine-tuning larger models.
