Which should you choose?
Which is better: GLM-5-Turbo, MiMo-V2-Pro or Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 Preview?
Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 Preview is the better all-round choice, scoring 46/100 against MiMo-V2-Pro (42) and GLM-5-Turbo (37). It leads on inputs & features. MiMo-V2-Pro wins on price and context window. 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-Turbo, MiMo-V2-Pro or Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 Preview?
MiMo-V2-Pro is cheaper at $1.00 input / $3.00 output per million tokens (median across 1 API provider). GLM-5-Turbo costs $1.20 input / $4.00 output per million tokens (official Z.AI API price); Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 Preview costs $1.00 input / $5.00 output per million tokens (median across 1 API provider). At a typical mix of three input tokens to one output token, that is $1.50 per million tokens for MiMo-V2-Pro versus $1.90 for GLM-5-Turbo (1.3× as much) and $2.00 for Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 Preview (1.3× as much).
Which scores higher on benchmarks?
There is no independent benchmark that covers all three models yet. GLM-5-Turbo has not been scored yet, MiMo-V2-Pro has not been scored yet and Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 Preview has not been scored yet.
Which is better for coding?
There are no published SWE-bench Verified results for GLM-5-Turbo, MiMo-V2-Pro and Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 Preview 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?
MiMo-V2-Pro has the largest context window at 1,048,576 tokens, against 200,000 for GLM-5-Turbo and 131,072 for Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 Preview. Maximum output per response: GLM-5-Turbo up to 131,072, MiMo-V2-Pro up to 131,072, Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 Preview up to 65,536 tokens.
Which can read images, PDFs, audio or video?
GLM-5-Turbo accepts text; MiMo-V2-Pro accepts text; Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 Preview accepts text, images, audio and video. Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 Preview handles the widest range of inputs.
Are any of these open source?
No. GLM-5-Turbo, MiMo-V2-Pro and Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 Preview are proprietary and only available through APIs and apps.
Which is newer?
Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 Preview is the newest, released Apr 14, 2026. MiMo-V2-Pro came out Mar 18, 2026; GLM-5-Turbo came out Mar 16, 2026. Knowledge cutoff: MiMo-V2-Pro Dec 2024, Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6 Preview Jan 2025.
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 Nov 2, 2026.
