GLB files are the binary equivalent of the GLTF 3D file format developed and maintained by the Khronos Group. GLB files are designed to be an open and expandable 3D format that can store 3D graphics and their assets, such as textures, animations, and more.
The content of a GLB file is binary and enables highly efficient storage and transmission of 3D data. This efficiency of size, along with its ability to store all the associated assets in the same file, has made GLB files one of the preferred formats for use within 3D web content and other applications.
Due to their open format, GLB files are widely supported by 3D editing software. The format has gained traction amongst videogame developers and other 3D artists as a primary means of exchanging 3D data between different applications.

FBX files are an open 3D file format developed by Autodesk for use with their Maya and 3Ds Max applications. An FBX file may contain any number of 3D objects, their associated geometry, materials, textures, animations, and more, all within a single convenient package.
The content of an FBX file is a mix of binary and ASCII text, producing a format that is both human-readable and compact. Due to their compact size, ease of use, and widespread support, FBX files are a popular choice for creating 3D animations and are also a staple in the videogame development scene.
The development of the FBX format continues to this day, with new features being included in each release. Along with being used within Autodesk's own editing solutions, FBX files can also be opened and edited in other popular 3D modeling applications, such as Blender.
