GLM-5.2-NVFP4-FP8 API & Inference Endpoint

Usage

This model is intended for deployment with vLLM and requires the following fix: https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/pull/47780. You can serve the model using

bash
vllm serve RedHatAI/GLM-5.2-NVFP4-FP8 \
    --tensor_parallel_size 4 \
    --reasoning-parser glm45 \
    --tool-call-parser glm47 \
    --enable-auto-tool-choice \
    --kv_cache_dtype=fp8 \

Creation Process

This model was created using LLM Compressor. The example script can be found in examples/quantizing_moe/glm5_example.py [Example] GLM5.2 Example. Quantizing the model with data parallelism and 6xA100 takes about 3 hours.
