OpenAIGPT-5.4 miniVSZ.ai (Zhipu AI)GLM-4.7
Our Take
We recommend GPT-5.4 mini for complex complex codebases, multi-file repositories, and architectural planning, or the 1.7x cheaper GLM-4.7 if your workflow is limited to multi-file code and clearly defined tasks. While they share very similar reasoning capabilities, GPT-5.4 mini handles repository-scale projects whereas GLM-4.7 excels at basic functions and scripts. Choose GPT-5.4 mini for architectural codebase planning, or GLM-4.7 to save on API costs for simple scripts.
