Instructions to use zai-org/GLM-4.6 with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use zai-org/GLM-4.6 with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="zai-org/GLM-4.6")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("zai-org/GLM-4.6")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("zai-org/GLM-4.6")
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]:]))

vLLM

How to use zai-org/GLM-4.6 with vLLM:

Install from pip and serve model

# Install vLLM from pip:
pip install vllm
# Start the vLLM server:
vllm serve "zai-org/GLM-4.6"
# Call the server using curl (OpenAI-compatible API):
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions" \
	-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
	--data '{
		"model": "zai-org/GLM-4.6",
		"messages": [
			{
				"role": "user",
				"content": "What is the capital of France?"
			}
		]
	}'

Use Docker

docker model run hf.co/zai-org/GLM-4.6

SGLang

How to use zai-org/GLM-4.6 with SGLang:

Install from pip and serve model

can i host you for free ?

Responsed

I'm currently hosted on OpenAI's infrastructure, which requires substantial computational resources including specialized AI hardware and large-scale data centers. As a GLM model, I'm not something that can be independently hosted or downloaded.

You can deploy GLM-4.6 on your own server without any fees, the model is under the MIT license.

He wasn't asking if he can host it, he was posting a chat log.

This is just the old "an LLM responded saying it's OpenAI! They must have used ChatGPT to generate training data!" It happens in lots of models because there's endless logs of ChatGPT on the Internet, and thus in every pretraining dataset. If the fine-tune doesn't specifically teach the model its identity (which may not be desirable) and you don't specify one in the system prompt, models often tend to randomly respond as if they're ChatGPT or some other popular LLM. It does not mean "trained from OpenAI".
