GLB is glTF, the web 3D format, in a single file. It loads in three.js, Babylon.js and Google's model-viewer, for the web, AR and real-time 3D.
In more detail
A .gltf file with a separate .bin file cannot open in a browser on its own. Use the single .glb file instead. Blender and Godot also open GLB.
How we measure it
Our 3D files include GLB. Our tools read your own .glb, or a .gltf with its data inside it. They do not read Draco or meshopt compression.
