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]:]))

vLLM

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

Install from pip and serve model

# Install vLLM from pip:
pip install vllm
# Start the vLLM server:
vllm serve "zai-org/GLM-5.2"
# 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-5.2",
		"messages": [
			{
				"role": "user",
				"content": "What is the capital of France?"
			}
		]
	}'

Use Docker

docker model run hf.co/zai-org/GLM-5.2

SGLang

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

Install from pip and serve model

Poor competency in style steering/following

Using GLM-5.2 for agentic programming tasks, I find that it often defaults to using weird sentence constructions that either:

feel more appropriate for old literature rather than software engineering.
feel like marketing buzzwords

Examples:

I see the shape of the problem now
Alright, I've recertified the contract
This is a greenfield build
It speaks the standard foo() shape
Separation makes the design legible
Now create the recipe and run it

These are annoying on their own as they break from the de facto standard technical style — but they are liabilities in that they obfuscate the work being done by the model. It is also harder to interpret the model's behavior and prompt it accordingly.

It is difficult to prompt this out of the model with a system prompt. In-context steering produced the best results but the model will often find different words/constructs that echo the same underlying problematic behavior or will return to its default behavior after several more turns.

In a creative writing context—specifically requests for short stories—it does a poor job at following demonstrations of a desired style (human-written literary work) with it presenting the same problematic behavior described above.

Please introduce style constraint following, especially in multi-turn, as part of your reinforcement learning gym. Thanks.
