Which should you choose?
Which is better: Morph V3 Fast, ALLaM-2-7b or GLM-4.5V?
GLM-4.5V is the better all-round choice, scoring 47/100 against Morph V3 Fast (15) and ALLaM-2-7b (0). It leads on inputs & features. Morph V3 Fast wins on context window. The score weighs inputs & features 60%, context window 40%. None of the shared benchmarks cover every model here yet, so capability is left out of this verdict.
Which is cheaper, Morph V3 Fast, ALLaM-2-7b or GLM-4.5V?
Morph V3 Fast is cheaper at $0.80 input / $1.20 output per million tokens (median across 5 API providers). GLM-4.5V costs $0.60 input / $1.80 output per million tokens (official Z.AI API price). At a typical mix of three input tokens to one output token, that is $0.90 per million tokens for Morph V3 Fast versus $0.90 for GLM-4.5V (1× as much). ALLaM-2-7b has no published per-token price.
Which scores higher on benchmarks?
There is no independent benchmark that covers all three models yet. Morph V3 Fast has not been scored yet, ALLaM-2-7b has not been scored yet and GLM-4.5V has not been scored yet.
Which is better for coding?
There are no published SWE-bench Verified results for Morph V3 Fast, ALLaM-2-7b and GLM-4.5V yet, so there is no like-for-like coding score. Test both on a sample of your own tasks. Note that Morph V3 Fast and ALLaM-2-7b does not support tool calling, which most coding agents need.
Which has the bigger context window?
Morph V3 Fast has the largest context window at 262,144 tokens, against 64,000 for GLM-4.5V and 4,096 for ALLaM-2-7b. Maximum output per response: Morph V3 Fast up to 131,072, ALLaM-2-7b up to 4,096, GLM-4.5V up to 16,384 tokens.
Which can read images, PDFs, audio or video?

Are any of these open source?
ALLaM-2-7b and GLM-4.5V publishes its weights and can be self-hosted; Morph V3 Fast is proprietary.
Which is newer?
GLM-4.5V is the newest, released Aug 11, 2025. Morph V3 Fast came out Jul 7, 2025; ALLaM-2-7b came out Jan 23, 2025. Knowledge cutoff: GLM-4.5V 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.
