How to use AesSedai/GLM-5.3-GGUF with llama.cpp:

Install (macOS, Linux)

curl -LsSf https://llama.app/install.sh | sh
# Start a local OpenAI-compatible server with a web UI:
llama serve -hf AesSedai/GLM-5.3-GGUF:Q4_K_M
# Run inference directly in the terminal:
llama cli -hf AesSedai/GLM-5.3-GGUF:Q4_K_M

Install from WinGet (Windows)

winget install llama.cpp
# Start a local OpenAI-compatible server with a web UI:
llama serve -hf AesSedai/GLM-5.3-GGUF:Q4_K_M
# Run inference directly in the terminal:
llama cli -hf AesSedai/GLM-5.3-GGUF:Q4_K_M

Use pre-built binary

# Download pre-built binary from:
# https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/releases
# Start a local OpenAI-compatible server with a web UI:
./llama-server -hf AesSedai/GLM-5.3-GGUF:Q4_K_M
# Run inference directly in the terminal:
./llama-cli -hf AesSedai/GLM-5.3-GGUF:Q4_K_M

Build from source code

git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp.git
cd llama.cpp
cmake -B build
cmake --build build -j --target llama-server llama-cli

This repo contains specialized MoE-quants for zai-org/GLM-5.3-Flash-BF16. The idea being that given the huge size of the FFN tensors compared to the rest of the tensors in the model, it should be possible to achieve a better quality while keeping the overall size of the entire model smaller compared to a similar naive quantization. To that end, the quantization type default is kept in high quality and the FFN UP + FFN GATE tensors are quanted down along with the FFN DOWN tensors.
