Coding Performance and Model Cost-Effectiveness Analysis

How to choose programming models in January 2026.

This is my analysis report on the coding performance and cost-effectiveness of several models, used to compare the performance and cost efficiency of different models in coding tasks, in order to select the most suitable model.

For Chinese language tasks, using GLM 4.7 is clearly more cost-effective. The price of 2000 RMB basically covers a year of usage. The downside is that during peak hours, even the enterprise MAX version can be very slow.

From my practical experience, the capabilities of minimax m2.1 far exceed those of GLM 4.7.
