Libraries

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

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="zai-org/GLM-4.6V-Flash")
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
pipe(text=messages)

# pip install -U transformers accelerate
# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForMultimodalLM

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("zai-org/GLM-4.6V-Flash")
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("zai-org/GLM-4.6V-Flash", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
inputs = processor.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=256)
print(processor.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

Add the LongShOTBench (NeurIPS 2026 Evaluations & Datasets Track) benchmark authors' published results for GLM-4.6V-Flash on overall, core_perception, reasoning, information and multimodal. Each value is a rubric-weighted score on a 0-100 scale; higher is better.

LongShOTBench evaluates long-form omni-modal video understanding: 3,401 open-ended single- and multi-turn samples (4,882 QA turns) over 274 real-world videos (~41 min avg) that require combining visual, speech and ambient-audio evidence. Answers are graded by an LLM judge (Qwen3-14B) against human-verified, weighted criterion-level rubrics.
