Gemini 2.5 Flash (Free) vs GLM 4.5 Air (free)

Gemini 2.5 Flash is Google’s high-performance workhorse model, specifically designed for advanced reasoning, coding, mathematics, and scientific tasks. Includes built-in "thinking" capabilities and is configurable through a "max tokens for reasoning" parameter for fine-tuned performance.

GLM-4.5-Air is the lightweight version of our newest flagship model family, designed specifically for agent-focused applications. Like GLM-4.5, it uses a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture, but with a smaller parameter footprint. GLM-4.5-Air also supports hybrid inference modes, including a "thinking mode" for deeper reasoning and tool usage, and a "non-thinking mode" for real-time interactions.
