Too close to call
It is close. Our weighted score puts them within a point (Kimi K2 Thinking 42/100, GLM-4.7 42/100, DeepSeek OCR 2 32/100), so choose by what matters most for your work: GLM-4.7 on price and Kimi K2 Thinking for long inputs. The score weighs price 50%, inputs & features 30%, context window 20%. None of the shared benchmarks cover every model here yet, so capability is left out of this verdict.

Which should you choose?
Which is better: DeepSeek OCR 2, GLM-4.7 or Kimi K2 Thinking?
It is close. Our weighted score puts them within a point (Kimi K2 Thinking 42/100, GLM-4.7 42/100, DeepSeek OCR 2 32/100), so choose by what matters most for your work: GLM-4.7 on price and Kimi K2 Thinking for long inputs. The score weighs price 50%, inputs & features 30%, context window 20%. None of the shared benchmarks cover every model here yet, so capability is left out of this verdict.
Which is cheaper, DeepSeek OCR 2, GLM-4.7 or Kimi K2 Thinking?
GLM-4.7 is cheaper at $0.60 input / $2.20 output per million tokens (official Z.AI API price). DeepSeek OCR 2 costs $0.89 input / $1.47 output per million tokens (median across 1 API provider); Kimi K2 Thinking costs $0.60 input / $2.50 output per million tokens (median across 10 API providers). At a typical mix of three input tokens to one output token, that is $1.00 per million tokens for GLM-4.7 versus $1.03 for DeepSeek OCR 2 (1× as much) and $1.07 for Kimi K2 Thinking (1.1× as much).
Which scores higher on benchmarks?
There is no independent benchmark that covers all three models yet. DeepSeek OCR 2 has not been scored yet, GLM-4.7 has an ECI of 143.5 and Kimi K2 Thinking has an ECI of 146.0.
Which is better for coding?
There are no published SWE-bench Verified results for DeepSeek OCR 2, GLM-4.7 and Kimi K2 Thinking yet, so there is no like-for-like coding score. Test both on a sample of your own tasks. Note that DeepSeek OCR 2 does not support tool calling, which most coding agents need.
Which has the bigger context window?
Kimi K2 Thinking has the largest context window at 262,144 tokens, against 204,800 for GLM-4.7 and 8,192 for DeepSeek OCR 2. Maximum output per response: DeepSeek OCR 2 up to 8,192, GLM-4.7 up to 131,072, Kimi K2 Thinking up to 262,144 tokens.

DeepSeek OCR 2 accepts text and images; GLM-4.7 accepts text; Kimi K2 Thinking accepts text. DeepSeek OCR 2 handles the widest range of inputs.
Are any of these open source?
Yes, all three publish their weights, so you can self-host them.
Which is newer?
DeepSeek OCR 2 is the newest, released Jan 27, 2026. GLM-4.7 came out Dec 22, 2025; Kimi K2 Thinking came out Nov 6, 2025. Knowledge cutoff: GLM-4.7 Apr 2025, Kimi K2 Thinking Aug 2024.
How do you decide the winner?
Each model gets a 0–100 score on capability (50%, independent benchmark results); price (25%, blended price per million tokens (3 input : 1 output), log scale); inputs & features (15%, image, PDF, audio and video input, tool calling, structured output and reasoning); context window (10%, maximum tokens per request, log scale). Dimensions missing for any model are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so every model is judged on the same evidence. Specs and prices come from public model listings and the labs’ own API pages; capability scores come from independent benchmark runs. Data updated Oct 4, 2026.
