Benchmarks of GLM 4.7 Flash

GLM 4.7 Flash shows superior benchmark performance in agentic reasoning compared with peers in its class. Its benchmark results indicate balanced performance across coding and reasoning tasks, strengthening trust in its outputs over long chains:

Benchmark	GLM 4.7 Flash	Qwen3-30B	GPT-OSS-20B
AIME 25	91.6	85.0	91.7
GPQA	75.2	73.4	71.5
SWE-bench Verified	59.2	22.0	34.0
τ²-Bench	79.5	49.0	47.7
BrowseComp	42.8	2.29	28.3

From the table, GLM 4.7 Flash shows a very balanced and high-level capability profile:

• Very strong mathematical reasoning
  AIME 25 at 91.6 means it performs near top-tier models on competition-grade math problems.
• High-level scientific and logical reasoning
  GPQA at 75.2 indicates solid performance on graduate-level questions that require deep understanding.
• Practical software engineering strength
  SWE-bench Verified at 59.2 is especially notable. This benchmark uses real GitHub issues and codebases. A score at this level means the model can read unfamiliar projects, locate bugs, modify code correctly, and pass tests in many real scenarios.
• Strong multi-step planning and tool-style reasoning
  τ²-Bench at 79.5 suggests it handles complex, multi-stage tasks well, such as breaking down goals, maintaining state, and executing plans.
• Real-world information synthesis
  BrowseComp at 42.8 shows it can effectively search, filter, and integrate external information compared to many other open models.

In practical terms, GLM 4.7 Flash is positioned as a fast, general-purpose model that combines:

• High-end reasoning
• Real-world coding competence
• Robust multi-step task handling
• Good performance in web-style information tasks
