GLM-5-UD-Q4_K_XL

Distributed GGUF inference package for Mesh LLM

GGUF layer package for running GLM-5-UD-Q4_K_XL across a local Mesh LLM cluster.

This package is derived from unsloth/GLM-5-GGUF and keeps the original GGUF distribution split into per-layer artifacts for distributed inference.

Highlights

Run locally	Pool multiple machines	OpenAI-compatible	Package variant
Private inference on your hardware	Split layers across peers	Serve `/v1/chat/completions` locally	`UD-Q4_K_XL` layer package

Recommended Use

Local and private inference with Mesh LLM.
Multi-machine serving when the full GGUF is too large for one host.
OpenAI-compatible chat/completions workflows through Mesh LLM's local API.

For upstream architecture details, chat template guidance, sampling recommendations, license terms, and benchmark notes, see the source model card: unsloth/GLM-5-GGUF.

Quickstart

# Run this on each machine that should contribute memory/compute.
mesh-llm serve --model "meshllm/GLM-5-UD-Q4_K_XL-layers" --split

# Check the mesh and discover the OpenAI-compatible model name.
curl -s http://localhost:3131/api/status
curl -s http://localhost:3131/v1/models

# Send an OpenAI-compatible chat request.
curl -s http://localhost:3131/v1/chat/completions \
