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", 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-5.2 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

# Install SGLang from pip:
pip install sglang

High Token Consumption and Cost Behavior in This Model

#33

Why does this model consume significantly more tokens compared to other models? The cost increases very quickly, and it seems to use a large number of tokens even for relatively simple tasks.

Check Artificial Analysis' benchmark. It doesn't look as poor as you claim it to be; maybe there are some workflow issues in the model?

Check out SWE 1.7 if you find GLM 5.2 is high on usage 🤣
