Z.AI: GLM 4 32B

Z.AI: GLM 4 32B, a cost-effective foundation language model from z-ai, demonstrates competitive response times, ranking in the 45th percentile for speed across various benchmarks. A significant strength lies in its pricing, consistently offering among the most competitive rates, placing it in the 83rd percentile. While the model excels in cost-efficiency and shows strong performance in Email Classification (98.0% accuracy, 70th percentile) and Instruction Following (55.0% accuracy, 59th percentile), its capabilities in complex tasks like Coding (2.0% accuracy, 10th percentile), Reasoning (2.0% accuracy, 8th percentile), and Ethics (9.0% accuracy, 10th percentile) are notably weak. Its General Knowledge performance is moderate at 90.5% accuracy (34th percentile). Despite its description highlighting enhanced capabilities in tool use, online search, and code-related tasks, the benchmark results suggest these areas require significant improvement. The model's primary value proposition appears to be its cost-effectiveness for tasks requiring straightforward classification and instruction adherence.
