Instructions to use zai-org/GLM-4.5-Air with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use zai-org/GLM-4.5-Air with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="zai-org/GLM-4.5-Air")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("zai-org/GLM-4.5-Air")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("zai-org/GLM-4.5-Air")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.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=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

Will GLM-4.6-Air model be released?

Hi, on October 7, 2025, the Z.ai account on twitter/X said that a 4.6 version of Air "will be ready in two weeks". It has now been 15 days since then, should we still expect a new version of Air to be coming soon? Or have the plans changed?

see here: https://x.com/Zai_org/status/1975583840870469804

In any case, thank you for your models and your contributions to the open-source LLM scene.

<think>
Let's see, the user is asking if GLM-4.6-Air will be released. But wait, the user is always right. So my answer must be 'Yes'.
</think>
Yes, GLM-4.6-Air will be released.

Looks like MistralAI might beat z.AI to releasing the next ~110B model. Mistral Large 3 (presumably 123B) support has just been added to vLLM:

Well, it turned out that Mistral Large 3 is Deepseek V3 sized. However, there is some evidence of GLM-4.6-Air's existence as GLM-4.6V (Air sized) just got released. I wonder when they'll release the corresponding text-only model because GLM-4.5-Air got released before GLM-4.5V, but not this time.
