Model Overview

Description:

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.

Our AI models are designed and/or optimized to run on NVIDIA GPU-accelerated systems. By leveraging NVIDIA’s hardware (e.g. GPU cores) and software frameworks (e.g., CUDA libraries), the model achieves faster training and inference times compared to CPU-only solutions.

Software Integration:

Supported Runtime Engine(s):

• SGLang
  
• vLLM
  

Supported Hardware Microarchitecture Compatibility:

• NVIDIA Blackwell
  

Preferred Operating System(s):

• Linux
  

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.

Model Version(s):

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

Post Training Quantization

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.

Usage

SGLang

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

pip install -U "transformers>=5.3.0" && \
python3 -m sglang.launch_server \
    --model nvidia/GLM-5.2-NVFP4 \
    --tensor-parallel-size 8 \
    --quantization modelopt_fp4 \
    --tool-call-parser glm47 \
    --reasoning-parser glm45 \
    --trust-remote-code \
    --chunked-prefill-size 16384 \
    --mem-fraction-static 0.80

vLLM

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

vllm serve nvidia/GLM-5.2-NVFP4 \
    --tensor-parallel-size 8 \
    --enable-expert-parallel \
    --trust-remote-code \
    --reasoning-parser glm45 \
    --tool-call-parser glm47 \
    --enable-auto-tool-choice \
    --kv-cache-dtype fp8_e4m3 \
    --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

Evaluation

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

Baseline: GLM-5.2-FP8. Benchmarked with temperature=1.0, top_p=0.95. GPQA Diamond used max_new_tokens=100000; all other benchmarks used max_new_tokens=64000.

Model Limitations:

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.

Ethical Considerations

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.
