Introduction

Zhipu officially released its next-generation open-source flagship model GLM-5.2, the latest flagship targeting Long Horizon Tasks. Compared to its predecessor GLM-5.1, it achieves a significant leap in long-horizon task capabilities and is open-sourced under the MIT License. The FlagOS Zhongzhi Community completed multi-chip adaptation and inference deployment at the first opportunity, currently covering four chips: Moore Threads S5000, T-Head 810E, Metax C550 and Hygon DCU BW1000.

Developers can rapidly deploy via the FlagOS unified, open-source software stack; model files and deployment guides are simultaneously available on ModelScope and HuggingFace. GLM-5.2 is a model featuring a stable and usable 1M context window, purpose-built for Long Horizon Tasks. Its core capabilities include:

• Solid 1M context: Stably supports a 1,000,000-token context window for long-horizon workloads
• Flexible advanced coding: Enhanced coding capabilities with support for multiple inference effort levels to balance performance and latency
• Improved architecture: Introduces IndexShare, which reuses the same indexer across every four sparse attention layers, reducing per-token FLOPs by 2.9× at 1M context length; improves the MTP layer to support speculative decoding, increasing acceptance length by up to 20%
• Fully open-source: MIT license, with no geographic restrictions

Integrated Deployment

• Out-of-the-box inference scripts with pre-configured hardware and software parameters
• Released FlagOS-Metax container image supporting deployment within minutes

Consistency Validation

• Rigorously evaluated through benchmark testing: Performance and results from the FlagOS software stack are compared against native stacks on multiple public.

Start the Server

This inference deployment requires 4 physical machines. All node startup scripts are located under /data/GLM-5.2/script/, with the filename prefix start_. Full list of scripts:

• /data/GLM-5.2/script/start_node0_tp32_pytorch.sh
• /data/GLM-5.2/script/start_node1_tp32_pytorch.sh
• /data/GLM-5.2/script/start_node2_tp32_pytorch.sh
• /data/GLM-5.2/script/start_node3_tp32_pytorch.sh

You need to modify the service startup scripts for the four machines according to your actual environment.

cd /data/GLM-5.2/script

# Run on node0
bash start_node0_tp32_pytorch.sh

# Run on node1
bash start_node1_tp32_pytorch.sh

# Run on node2
bash start_node2_tp32_pytorch.sh

# Run on node3
bash start_node3_tp32_pytorch.sh

Technical Overview

FlagOS is a fully open-source system software stack designed to unify the "model–system–chip" layers and foster an open, collaborative ecosystem. It enables a “develop once, run anywhere” workflow across diverse AI accelerators, unlocking hardware performance, eliminating fragmentation among vendor-specific software stacks, and substantially lowering the cost of porting and maintaining AI workloads. With core technologies such as the FlagScale, together with vllm-plugin-fl, distributed training/inference framework, FlagGems universal operator library, FlagCX communication library, and FlagTree unified compiler, the FlagRelease platform leverages the FlagOS stack to automatically produce and release various combinations of <chip + open-source model>. This enables efficient and automated model migration across diverse chips, opening a new chapter for large model deployment and application.

FlagGems

FlagGems is a high-performance, generic operator libraryimplemented in Triton language. It is built on a collection of backend-neutralkernels that aims to accelerate LLM (Large-Language Models) training and inference across diverse hardware platforms.

FlagTree

FlagTree is an open source, unified compiler for multipleAI chips project dedicated to developing a diverse ecosystem of AI chip compilers and related tooling platforms, thereby fostering and strengthening the upstream and downstream Triton ecosystem. Currently in its initial phase, the project aims to maintain compatibility with existing adaptation solutions while unifying the codebase to rapidly implement single-repository multi-backend support. Forupstream model users, it provides unified compilation capabilities across multiple backends; for downstream chip manufacturers, it offers examples of Triton ecosystem integration.

FlagScale and vllm-plugin-fl

Flagscale is a comprehensive toolkit designed to supportthe entire lifecycle of large models. It builds on the strengths of several prominent open-source projects, including Megatron-LM and vLLM, to provide a robust, end-to-end solution for managing and scaling large models. vllm-plugin-fl is a vLLM plugin built on the FlagOS unified multi-chip backend, to help flagscale support multi-chip on vllm framework.

FlagCX

FlagCX is a scalable and adaptive cross-chip communication library. It serves as a platform where developers, researchers, and AI engineers can collaborate on various projects, contribute to the development of cutting-edge AI solutions, and share their work with the global community.

FlagEval Evaluation Framework

FlagEval is a comprehensive evaluation system and open platform for large models launched in 2023. It aims to establish scientific, fair, and open benchmarks, methodologies, and tools to help researchers assess model and training algorithm performance. It features:

• Multi-dimensional Evaluation: Supports 800+ modelevaluations across NLP, CV, Audio, and Multimodal fields,covering 20+ downstream tasks including language understanding and image-text generation.
• Industry-Grade Use Cases: Has completed horizonta1 evaluations of mainstream large models, providing authoritative benchmarks for chip-model performance validation.
