Instructions to use zai-org/GLM-5 with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use zai-org/GLM-5 with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="zai-org/GLM-5")
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")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("zai-org/GLM-5", device_map="auto")
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-5 with vLLM:

Install from pip and serve model

# Install vLLM from pip:
pip install vllm
# Start the vLLM server:
vllm serve "zai-org/GLM-5"
# 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-5",
		"messages": [
			{
				"role": "user",
				"content": "What is the capital of France?"
			}
		]
	}'

Use Docker

docker model run hf.co/zai-org/GLM-5

SGLang

How to use zai-org/GLM-5 with SGLang:

Install from pip and serve model

# Install SGLang from pip:

 Reinforcement learning aims to bridge the gap between competence and excellence in pre-trained models. However, deploying it at scale for LLMs is a challenge due to the RL training inefficiency. To this end, we developed [slime](https://github.com/THUDM/slime), a novel **asynchronous RL infrastructure** that substantially improves training throughput and efficiency, enabling more fine-grained post-training iterations. With advances in both pre-training and post-training, GLM-5 delivers significant improvement compared to GLM-4.7 across a wide range of academic benchmarks and achieves best-in-class performance among all open-source models in the world on reasoning, coding, and agentic tasks,  closing the gap with frontier models.

-GLM-5 is purpose-built for complex systems engineering and long-horizon agentic tasks. On our internal evaluation suite CC-Bench-V2, GLM-5 significantly outperforms GLM-4.7 across frontend, backend, and long-horizon tasks, narrowing the gap to Claude Opus 4.5.

-On [Vending Bench 2](https://andonlabs.com/evals/vending-bench-2), a benchmark that measures long-term operational capability, GLM-5 ranks \#1 among open-source models. Vending Bench 2 requires the model to run a simulated vending machine business over a one-year horizon; GLM-5 finishes with a final account balance of $4,432, approaching Claude Opus 4.5 and demonstrating strong long-term planning and resource management.
