THUDM: GLM 4.1V 9B Thinking

THUDM: GLM 4.1V 9B Thinking, a 9B parameter vision-language model, demonstrates exceptional speed and competitive pricing, consistently ranking among the fastest and most cost-effective models across various benchmarks. Its reliability is strong, with an 89th percentile ranking indicating few technical issues. While excelling in cost and speed, its accuracy performance varies significantly across categories. The model achieved strong accuracy in Ethics (94.0%) and Email Classification (94.0%), showcasing its capability in structured classification and ethical reasoning. However, it exhibited a critical weakness in Instruction Following, scoring 0.0% accuracy, suggesting a significant area for improvement in complex directive adherence. Performance in Coding (74.0%), Reasoning (66.0%), and General Knowledge (72.5%) was moderate, with particularly slow durations for Reasoning and General Knowledge tasks. Overall, GLM 4.1V 9B Thinking stands out for its efficiency and affordability, but its multimodal reasoning and complex problem-solving capabilities, particularly in instruction following, require further development to fully align with its "thinking paradigm" description.
