An evaluation row appears only where at least two of these models report the same benchmark with the same stated configuration, metric, unit and setup. Different evaluators stay named in each cell. Values are shown as reported: no unit conversion, no ranking.

Other Reported Results

These results are listed for each model on its own, because the conditions needed to compare them are not stated or do not match. Two results that leave a condition blank are not assumed to share it.

SAVRN's Notes on GLM-5.3-Flash

321.3B parameters with 18B active per token, routed across 288 experts, and a 1,048,576-token context: the 16-bit footprint is 771.2 GB on three 288 GB MI355X cards at $7.77 an hour, but 4-bit collapses to 192.8 GB on a single 256 GB MI325X at $2.00. Z.ai's first natively multimodal GLM-5; the page's reported evaluations center on document-image understanding in the low nineties.

MIT keeps the obligation to one notice line. Five hosts list it at $0.15 in and $0.50 out per million tokens — Baseten, DeepInfra, Fireworks, Novita and Together AI — so set your tokens per hour against $2.00, $4.00 or $7.77. Mind the KV budget: at 4-bit on 256 GB, the weights leave a fraction of the card, and the million-token window is the feature you are renting.

SAVRN's Notes on Qwen3.8-Flash-Next

180B parameters with 512 experts and 10 active per token, in a multimodal image-and-text-to-text stack. The cost curve is steep: 108.0 GB of working memory at 4-bit on one MI300X at $1.85 an hour, 216.0 GB at 8-bit needing one MI325X at $2.00, and 432.0 GB at 16-bit jumping to two MI325X at $4.00. The step from 8-bit to 16-bit doubles your hourly cost, so 4-bit or 8-bit is where most operators will land.

The license is 'other' on our Index — read the text before commercial use. A 262,144-token context and a 24-layer, 2,560-hidden config keep it shallower than the raw parameter count suggests. The Index lists a long tail of community conversions — GGUF, EXL3, MLX, W8A8 — if the official build does not fit your stack. It draws 1.2M downloads a month.

Questions

Which is larger, GLM-5.3-Flash or Qwen3.8-Flash-Next?

GLM-5.3-Flash (321.3B parameters) is larger than Qwen3.8-Flash-Next (180B parameters), by the parameter counts their publishers report.

Which is cheaper to run, GLM-5.3-Flash or Qwen3.8-Flash-Next?

At 4-bit, GLM-5.3-Flash fits on 1x MI325X from $2.00 an hour and Qwen3.8-Flash-Next on 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest on-demand prices the SAVRN Index lists.
