The NVIDIA GLM-5.2 NVFP4 model is the quantized version of ZAI’s GLM-5.2 model, which is an auto-regressive language model that uses an optimized transformer architecture. GLM-5.2 is a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model for reasoning and coding that uses sparse attention (with an IndexShare indexer) to support a long context. For more information, please check here. The NVIDIA GLM-5.2 NVFP4 model is quantized with Model Optimizer.

This model is ready for commercial or non-commercial use.

GOVERNING TERMS: Use of the model is governed by the MIT License, same as the base model.

Preferred Operating System(s):

The integration of foundation and fine-tuned models into AI systems requires additional testing using use-case-specific data to ensure safe and effective deployment. Following the V-model methodology, iterative testing and validation at both unit and system levels are essential to mitigate risks, meet technical and functional requirements, and ensure compliance with safety and ethical standards before deployment.

The model version is NVFP4 1.0 version and is quantized with nvidia-modelopt v0.46.0

We calibrated the model using the dataset noted below, and performed evaluation using the benchmarks noted under Evaluation Datasets. We did not perform training or testing for this Model Optimizer release. The methods noted under Training and Testing Datasets below represent the data collection and labeling methods used by the third-party to train and test the underlying model.

This model was obtained by quantizing the weights and activations of GLM-5.2 to NVFP4 data type, ready for inference with SGLang and vLLM. Only the weights and activations of the linear operators within transformer blocks in MoE experts are quantized. The shared expert is not quantized.

This checkpoint was served with the latest SGLang image (lmsysorg/sglang:latest). GLM-5.2's glm_moe_dsa architecture requires transformers>=5.3.0, which we installed in the container before launching the server. You can also use lmsysorg/sglang:dev-glm52-nvfp4

To serve this checkpoint with vLLM, use the vllm/vllm-openai:v0.23.0 image and run:

The accuracy benchmark results are presented in the table below. AA-LCR was measured with SGLang; all other benchmarks were measured with vLLM.

The base model was trained on data that contains toxic language and societal biases originally crawled from the internet. Therefore, the model may amplify those biases and return toxic responses especially when prompted with toxic prompts. The model may generate answers that may be inaccurate, omit key information, or include irrelevant or redundant text producing socially unacceptable or undesirable text, even if the prompt itself does not include anything explicitly offensive.

NVIDIA believes Trustworthy AI is a shared responsibility and we have established policies and practices to enable development for a wide array of AI applications. Developers should work with their internal model team to ensure this model meets requirements for the relevant industry and use case and addresses unforeseen product misuse.
