Qwen3 30B-A3B Instruct 2507 is cheaper at $0.10 input / $0.30 output per million tokens (median across 12 API providers). 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 $0.15 per million tokens for Qwen3 30B-A3B Instruct 2507 versus $1.00 for GLM-4.7 (6.7× as much) and $2.00 for Claude Haiku 4.5 (13× 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 Qwen3 30B-A3B Instruct 2507 137.3 (#124 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%, Qwen3 30B-A3B Instruct 2507 55.6%; OTIS Mock AIME 2024–2025 — GLM-4.7 83.3%, Claude Haiku 4.5 66.7%, Qwen3 30B-A3B Instruct 2507 62.2%.
Which is better for coding?
There are no published SWE-bench Verified results for Claude Haiku 4.5, Qwen3 30B-A3B Instruct 2507 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?
Qwen3 30B-A3B Instruct 2507 has the largest context window at 262,144 tokens, against 204,800 for GLM-4.7 and 200,000 for Claude Haiku 4.5. Maximum output per response: Claude Haiku 4.5 up to 64,000, Qwen3 30B-A3B Instruct 2507 up to 16,384, GLM-4.7 up to 131,072 tokens.
Which can read images, PDFs, audio or video?
Claude Haiku 4.5 accepts text, images and PDFs; Qwen3 30B-A3B Instruct 2507 accepts text; GLM-4.7 accepts text. Claude Haiku 4.5 handles the widest range of inputs.
Are any of these open source?
Qwen3 30B-A3B Instruct 2507 and GLM-4.7 publishes its weights (Apache 2.0) and can be self-hosted; Claude Haiku 4.5 is proprietary.
Which is newer?
GLM-4.7 is the newest, released Dec 22, 2025. Claude Haiku 4.5 came out Oct 15, 2025; Qwen3 30B-A3B Instruct 2507 came out Jul 28, 2025. Knowledge cutoff: Claude Haiku 4.5 Feb 28, 2025, 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.
