Which should you choose?
Which is better: GLM-5.3-Flash, Muse Spark 1.1 or GPT-6 Luna?
It is close. Our weighted score puts them within 1 points (GLM-5.3-Flash 79/100, GPT-6 Luna 78/100, Muse Spark 1.1 57/100), so choose by what matters most for your work: GPT-6 Luna on price. 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, GLM-5.3-Flash, Muse Spark 1.1 or GPT-6 Luna?
GPT-6 Luna is cheaper at $0.10 input / $0.50 output per million tokens (official OpenAI API price). GLM-5.3-Flash costs $0.15 input / $0.50 output per million tokens (official Z.AI API price); Muse Spark 1.1 costs $1.25 input / $4.25 output per million tokens (official Meta API price). At a typical mix of three input tokens to one output token, that is $0.20 per million tokens for GPT-6 Luna versus $0.237 for GLM-5.3-Flash (1.2× as much) and $2.00 for Muse Spark 1.1 (10× as much).
Which scores higher on benchmarks?
There is no independent benchmark that covers all three models yet. GLM-5.3-Flash has an ECI of 151.9, Muse Spark 1.1 has an ECI of 154.3 and GPT-6 Luna has not been scored yet.
Which is better for coding?
There are no published SWE-bench Verified results for GLM-5.3-Flash, Muse Spark 1.1 and GPT-6 Luna yet, so there is no like-for-like coding score. Test both on a sample of your own tasks. All three support tool calling for agent workflows.
Which has the bigger context window?
GPT-6 Luna and Muse Spark 1.1 have the largest context windows (1,050,000 and 1,048,576 tokens), against 1,000,000 for GLM-5.3-Flash. Maximum output per response: GLM-5.3-Flash up to 131,072, Muse Spark 1.1 up to 131,072, GPT-6 Luna up to 128,000 tokens.
Which can read images, PDFs, audio or video?
GLM-5.3-Flash accepts text, images, PDFs and video; Muse Spark 1.1 accepts text, images, PDFs and video; GPT-6 Luna accepts text, images and PDFs. GLM-5.3-Flash handles the widest range of inputs.
Are any of these open source?
GLM-5.3-Flash publishes its weights and can be self-hosted; Muse Spark 1.1 and GPT-6 Luna is proprietary.
Which is newer?
GPT-6 Luna is the newest, released Sep 22, 2026. GLM-5.3-Flash came out Aug 26, 2026; Muse Spark 1.1 came out Jul 9, 2026. Knowledge cutoff: GPT-6 Luna May 18, 2026.
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.
