Instructions to use zai-org/GLM-5.2 with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use zai-org/GLM-5.2 with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="zai-org/GLM-5.2")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("zai-org/GLM-5.2")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("zai-org/GLM-5.2")
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]:]))

Deep admiration for your work—Any plans for a 30B-level GLM 5.2 Flash model for local edge execution?

Hi ZAI-Org Team,

I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest admiration and respect for the incredible work you are doing. The rapid evolution and raw capabilities of your GLM series have been nothing short of extraordinary.

If the open-source movement was the democratization of software, your work is truly the democratization of intelligence. As someone who deeply values technological autonomy and the "sovereignty of hardware," watching your team consistently push the boundaries of open weights has been deeply inspiring. In an era where centralized tech giants are trying to turn every cognitive query into a metered cloud tax, your contributions are breathing new life into the true spirit of democratic technology. You are empowering developers to execute top-tier intelligence right at the edge, locally and independently.

I’m incredibly eager to experience the next chapter of your journey, particularly around GLM 5.2. I was wondering—is there any chance we might see a 30B-level "Flash" or highly optimized model tailored for local cluster deployment in the near future?

Having that kind of elite cognitive baseline running on consumer-accessible hardware would be an absolute game-changer for independent developers and grassroots innovators worldwide.

Thank you again for your relentless dedication and for keeping the flame of open intelligence alive. I will be eagerly watching your community space!

Warm regards,

Edward Yoon

i 2nd that. they are doing a great thing, but it would be even better if we could run this stuff home and not rely on the 'big players'.
