MiniMax-M2.7 and GLM-5 (Reasoning) perform similarly on overall intelligence, scoring 49.6 and 49.8 respectively. For coding tasks, GLM-5 (Reasoning) has the edge with a coding score of 44.2 vs 41.9.
GLM-5 (Reasoning) generates output significantly faster at 66 tok/s compared to MiniMax-M2.7's 45 tok/s, making it 1.5x faster for streaming responses. Time to first token is 0.98s for GLM-5 (Reasoning) vs 1.78s for MiniMax-M2.7, which affects perceived responsiveness in interactive applications.
MiniMax-M2.7 is more affordable at $0.30/1M input tokens ($1.20/1M output), while GLM-5 (Reasoning) costs $1.00/1M input ($3.20/1M output). That makes GLM-5 (Reasoning) 3.3x more expensive per token, which can add up significantly at scale. For a typical workload of 100 requests per day at 2,000 tokens each, MiniMax-M2.7 would cost approximately $1.80/month vs $6.00/month for GLM-5 (Reasoning) in input costs alone.
Choose MiniMax-M2.7 when you need lower cost. Choose GLM-5 (Reasoning) when you need stronger coding performance (44.2), faster output (66 tok/s).
GLM-5 (Reasoning) scores higher on coding benchmarks (44.2 vs 41.9), making it the better choice for programming tasks.
MiniMax-M2.7 is cheaper at $0.30/1M input tokens vs $1.00/1M for GLM-5 (Reasoning).
