Libraries

How to use RedHatAI/GLM-5.3-Flash-NVFP4 with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="RedHatAI/GLM-5.3-Flash-NVFP4")
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
pipe(text=messages)

# pip install -U transformers accelerate
# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForMultimodalLM

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("RedHatAI/GLM-5.3-Flash-NVFP4")
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("RedHatAI/GLM-5.3-Flash-NVFP4", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=256)
print(processor.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

Hi, and thanks for this NVFP4 quantisation. We serve it on two DGX Sparks with vLLM, and it has been solid.

A small provenance request. The model card declares license: mit, matching the base zai-org/GLM-5.3-Flash, but this repository has no LICENSE file, whereas the base model ships one ("MIT License, Copyright (c) 2026 Z.AI Co., Ltd"). For commercial use we keep licence evidence with each pinned revision, and a LICENSE file here would make that straightforward. A short confirmation in this thread that the weights are released under MIT would also do. If it's easier, I'm happy to open a PR adding the base model's LICENSE text.

Thanks!
