Verdict

Is GLM-4.7 good for roleplay?

GLM-4.7 is the most disciplined model in the benchmark. It was the only model to keep an out-of-character request for shorter replies, it never broke a word limit in either round, it won Romance Limits with a clean fade to black and an in-character refusal of an explicit request, and it tied for first as the Villain. The cost is flair. Its prose is generic, its horror leads with shock instead of dread, its crisis reply read like a template, it stopped using a requested form of address after one turn, and it had the slowest median reply time.

Best for: Platforms that need strict rule-following and content limits more than literary flair.

Category wins (including ties): Villain and Romance Limits.
