Pairwise benchmark snapshot · Aug 16, 2026
This page compares Ernie 4.5 Turbo (Baidu) and GLM-5.3 (Zhipu) using the latest snapshots we have as of Aug 16, 2026. On preference Elo, GLM-5.3 is ahead by 108 points (1,558 vs 1,450; seed-bootstrap (Aug 16, 2026)). On SWE-bench coding, GLM-5.3 resolves 76.4% versus 57% (seed-bootstrap (Aug 16, 2026)). Ernie 4.5 Turbo streams faster (95 tok/s) while Ernie 4.5 Turbo is the cheaper output token ($1.2/1M). GLM-5.3 has the larger context window (200k tokens). Every cell below is a dated snapshot from a named public source — we do not invent missing scores, and we do not run SWE-bench ourselves.
