We test Z AI's new GLM 4.7 model against Sonnet 4.5 in Claude Code with real coding benchmarks. SWE-bench scores, UI generation, code architecture, and honest results. No hype, just facts. In this episode of Debunked, we put GLM 4.7 through real-world testing to see if it lives up to the benchmarks. We compare it directly against Claude Sonnet 4.5 in both UI design and code architecture tasks, testing everything from NextJS implementations to mock data structures. What we cover: GLM 4.7 pricing breakdown vs Claude Pro and Max plans Real SWE-bench performance analysis UI generation comparison test Code architecture and quality review New MCP tools integration Prompt limits and value comparison Honest recommendation Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 0:45 Context 2:30 UI Test 4:15 Code Test 7:00 Conclusion #GLM47 #ClaudeCode #AICoding #SWEBench #Sonnet45 #AITools #VibeCoding ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
