Libraries

How to use pipenetwork/GLM-5.2-MLX-5bit with MLX:

# Make sure mlx-lm is installed
# pip install --upgrade mlx-lm

# Generate text with mlx-lm
from mlx_lm import load, generate

model, tokenizer = load("pipenetwork/GLM-5.2-MLX-5bit")

prompt = "Write a story about Einstein"
messages = [{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages, add_generation_prompt=True
)

text = generate(model, tokenizer, prompt=prompt, verbose=True)

How to use pipenetwork/GLM-5.2-MLX-5bit with Pi:

Start the MLX server

# Install MLX LM:
uv tool install mlx-lm
# Start a local OpenAI-compatible server:
mlx_lm.server --model "pipenetwork/GLM-5.2-MLX-5bit"

Configure the model in Pi

# Install Pi:
npm install -g @mariozechner/pi-coding-agent
# Add to ~/.pi/agent/models.json:
{
  "providers": {
    "mlx-lm": {
      "baseUrl": "http://localhost:8080/v1",
      "api": "openai-completions",
      "apiKey": "none",
      "models": [
        {
          "id": "pipenetwork/GLM-5.2-MLX-5bit"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

   -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
   --data '{
     "model": "pipenetwork/GLM-5.2-MLX-5bit",
     "messages": [
       {"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}
     ]
   }'

GLM-5.2-MLX-5bit

MLX (Apple Silicon) conversion of zai-org/GLM-5.2 — a glm_moe_dsa MoE (256 experts, DeepSeek-V3.2-style sparse attention) — quantized to 5-bit.

Quantizations

Part of the GLM-5.2 MLX collection.

Variant	Notes
8-bit	8-bit · ~800GB · needs ~1TB RAM · integrity-checked
6-bit	6-bit · ~625GB · needs ~768GB RAM · integrity-checked
5-bit (this repo)	5-bit · ~530GB · needs ~640GB RAM · integrity-checked
4-bit	4-bit · ~430GB · tight on 512GB · smoke-tested
mixed	mixed · experts@3-bit / non-expert@6-bit · ~360GB · 512GB-fit · smoke-tested

Use with mlx-lm

pip install mlx-lm
python -m mlx_lm generate --model pipenetwork/GLM-5.2-MLX-5bit --prompt "Hello" -m 256

Validation

File-integrity checked (index/shards/config/tokenizer); not run-tested (exceeds the 512GB conversion host's RAM).
