If a $3 model can perform 90% of the tasks that a $200 model can, the justification for high-cost enterprise licenses evaporates. This pressure will likely force Western competitors to lower prices or significantly boost their feature sets to maintain market share.

## ❓ FAQ: GLM-4.7 and the AI Coding Market
**What is the best cost-effective AI for coding in 2025?**
GLM-4.7 by Zhipu AI is a highly competitive, cost-effective SOTA model for coding. It provides performance comparable to **Claude Sonnet 4.5** at a fraction of the subscription cost, making it a compelling choice for developers prioritizing ROI.
The market for high-performance, budget-friendly AI has expanded significantly in 2025. Leading the pack are **GLM-4.7 (Zhipu AI)**, **DeepSeek-V3.2**, and **Qwen-3 Coder (Alibaba)**. While all three offer performance comparable to **Claude Sonnet 4.5** at a fraction of the cost, GLM-4.7 is often preferred for agentic workflows due to its advanced "Preserved Thinking" architecture. DeepSeek remains a strong choice for raw logic, while Qwen excels in multilingual code generation.
**Is GLM-4.7 better than GPT-5.1 or Claude Sonnet 4.5 for coding?**
While **Claude Sonnet 4.5** and **GPT-5.1** represent the absolute peak of current LLM development, GLM-4.7 shows parity or leadership in agentic coding workflows, mathematical reasoning (AIME 25 score: 95.7), and multi-file debugging, all while maintaining a 200K context window.
Objectively, **Claude Sonnet 4.5** and **GPT-5.1** currently hold the edge in massive-scale architectural planning and natural language nuance. However, GLM-4.7 has achieved parity or leadership in execution-heavy benchmarks (LiveCodeBench: 84.9) and mathematical reasoning (AIME 25: 95.7). For developers, the choice is often between paying for the absolute peak (Claude/GPT) or achieving 95% of that performance with GLM-4.7 for 1/20th the price.
**How much does the GLM-4.7 coding tool cost?**
The Z.AI Lite plan starts at **$9/quarter**. For API users, GLM-4.7 is priced at approximately **$0.60 per 1M tokens**, significantly undercutting the $15.00/1M token rate of premium Western models.
