04 — Questions

Which should you choose?

Which is better: Claude Haiku 4.5, GPT-5 Nano or GLM-4.7?

GPT-5 Nano is the better all-round choice, scoring 68/100 against Claude Haiku 4.5 (57) and GLM-4.7 (55). It leads on price and context window. Claude Haiku 4.5 wins on inputs & features. GLM-4.7 wins on capability. The score weighs capability 50%, price 25%, inputs & features 15%, context window 10%.

Which is cheaper, Claude Haiku 4.5, GPT-5 Nano or GLM-4.7?

GPT-5 Nano is cheaper at $0.05 input / $0.40 output per million tokens (official OpenAI API price). GLM-4.7 costs $0.60 input / $2.20 output per million tokens (official Z.AI API price); Claude Haiku 4.5 costs $1.00 input / $5.00 output per million tokens (official Anthropic API price). At a typical mix of three input tokens to one output token, that is $0.138 per million tokens for GPT-5 Nano versus $1.00 for GLM-4.7 (7.3× as much) and $2.00 for Claude Haiku 4.5 (15× as much).

Which scores higher on benchmarks?

GLM-4.7 scores higher on the Capabilities Index (ECI): GLM-4.7 143.7 (#94 of 165), Claude Haiku 4.5 142.2 (#102 of 165) and GPT-5 Nano 139.3 (#116 of 165). The confidence ranges of the top two overlap (141.4–145.8 vs 139.4–143.9), so treat the gap as small. On individual benchmarks: GPQA Diamond — GLM-4.7 83.3%, Claude Haiku 4.5 71.2%, GPT-5 Nano 69.4%; OTIS Mock AIME 2024–2025 — GLM-4.7 83.3%, GPT-5 Nano 81.1%, Claude Haiku 4.5 66.7%; SimpleQA Verified — GLM-4.7 32.2%, Claude Haiku 4.5 13.2%, GPT-5 Nano 11.7%.

Which is better for coding?

There are no published SWE-bench Verified results for Claude Haiku 4.5, GPT-5 Nano and GLM-4.7 yet, so there is no like-for-like coding score. On overall capability, GLM-4.7 leads, which tends to carry over to coding, but test on your own codebase. All three support tool calling for agent workflows.

Which has the bigger context window?

Are any of these open source?

GLM-4.7 publishes its weights and can be self-hosted; Claude Haiku 4.5 and GPT-5 Nano is proprietary.

Which is newer?

GLM-4.7 is the newest, released Dec 22, 2025. Claude Haiku 4.5 came out Oct 15, 2025; GPT-5 Nano came out Aug 7, 2025. Knowledge cutoff: Claude Haiku 4.5 Feb 28, 2025, GPT-5 Nano May 30, 2024, GLM-4.7 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 Nov 2, 2026.
