AI Model Comparison
Side-by-side comparison of pricing, context window, benchmarks, capabilities, and license. Every figure comes from the developer's own pages, last checked on ; each model's page lists its sources. A figure we could not source shows as a dash.
Model A — Z.ai (Zhipu AI)
GLM-5.3 is Z.ai's flagship model for coding and agent work, built on the same base model as GLM-5.2 with all gains from post-training. It accepts text only, with a 1M-token context window and up to 128K output tokens, and always reasons.
Model B — LG AI Research
K-EXAONE 2.0 is a multilingual model from LG AI Research, released on July 31, 2026 and upcycled from K-EXAONE to more than three times its size, focused on reasoning, agentic workflows and long-context work. It covers ten languages, including Korean, English and Japanese.

Bold green values indicate the winner on that dimension where comparison is meaningful (lower price wins; bigger context wins; more open license wins; newer date wins). Prices are the ones each developer lists today; a model it no longer prices has none.
