Too close to call
It is close. Our weighted score puts them within 1 points (GLM-5.3-Flash 79/100, GPT-6 Luna 78/100, GLM-4.7-FlashX 61/100), so choose by what matters most for your work: GLM-4.7-FlashX on price and GPT-6 Luna 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: GPT-6 Luna, GLM-4.7-FlashX or GLM-5.3-Flash?
It is close. Our weighted score puts them within 1 points (GLM-5.3-Flash 79/100, GPT-6 Luna 78/100, GLM-4.7-FlashX 61/100), so choose by what matters most for your work: GLM-4.7-FlashX on price and GPT-6 Luna 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, GPT-6 Luna, GLM-4.7-FlashX or GLM-5.3-Flash?
GLM-4.7-FlashX is cheaper at $0.07 input / $0.40 output per million tokens (official Z.AI API price). GPT-6 Luna costs $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). At a typical mix of three input tokens to one output token, that is $0.152 per million tokens for GLM-4.7-FlashX versus $0.20 for GPT-6 Luna (1.3× as much) and $0.237 for GLM-5.3-Flash (1.6× as much).
Which scores higher on benchmarks?
There is no independent benchmark that covers all three models yet. GPT-6 Luna has not been scored yet, GLM-4.7-FlashX has not been scored yet and GLM-5.3-Flash has an ECI of 151.9.
Which is better for coding?
There are no published SWE-bench Verified results for GPT-6 Luna, GLM-4.7-FlashX and GLM-5.3-Flash 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 has the largest context window at 1,050,000 tokens, against 1,000,000 for GLM-5.3-Flash and 200,000 for GLM-4.7-FlashX. Maximum output per response: GPT-6 Luna up to 128,000, GLM-4.7-FlashX up to 131,072, GLM-5.3-Flash up to 131,072 tokens.
Which can read images, PDFs, audio or video?
GPT-6 Luna accepts text, images and PDFs; GLM-4.7-FlashX accepts text; GLM-5.3-Flash accepts text, images, PDFs and video. GLM-5.3-Flash handles the widest range of inputs.
Are any of these open source?
GLM-4.7-FlashX and GLM-5.3-Flash publishes its weights and can be self-hosted; 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; GLM-4.7-FlashX came out Jan 19, 2026. Knowledge cutoff: GPT-6 Luna May 18, 2026, GLM-4.7-FlashX Apr 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 Oct 4, 2026.
