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]:]))

		"messages": [
			{
				"role": "user",
				"content": "What is the capital of France?"
			}
		]
	}'

Use Docker

docker model run hf.co/zai-org/GLM-5.2

Add LEXam-hard evaluation result

Browse files

Adds this model's score on the [LEXam-hard](https://huggingface.co/datasets/joelniklaus/LEXam-hard) benchmark, the 518 LEXam open questions the strongest open models score lowest on.

The score is the pooled mean DeepSeek-R1-0528 judge grade (0-100) over those questions, recomputed from the per-sample outputs of the [SwissLegalEvals](https://huggingface.co/blog/joelniklaus/swiss-legal-evals) run (lighteval, LEXam paper prompts, one response per question, no tools). The raw outputs are in the public `joelniklaus/SwissLegalEvals` bucket; the recomputation is `reproduction/lexam_hard_results.py` in the dataset repository.
