Z.ai: GLM 5V Turbo
The Z.ai GLM 5V Turbo is a multi-modal AI model that can handle text, image, and video inputs up to a context length of 202752 tokens. It supports tools and reasoning capabilities. This model may be worth shortlisting for those who prioritize its unique multi-modal capabilities and don't require structured output. However, with a price point of $1.2 per million input tokens and $4.0 per million output tokens, it's essential to evaluate whether the costs align with your specific use case. Despite scoring 57.6 on blended benchmark tests across one independent measure, its overall performance is uncertain due to limited coverage data.
