Highlights
- A merged GLM-5.2 coding-specialist checkpoint derived from the Macaron-V1-Venti L2 Coding LoRA.
- No runtime adapter loading is required: the LoRA update is merged directly into the BF16 base weights.
- Built for code understanding, repository-level software engineering, terminal use, and coding-agent workflows.
- Shares the Macaron-V1 post-training stack and evaluation harness used for the flagship Macaron-V1-Venti release.

Higher is better for all scores shown in the table.
Evaluation Protocols
The coding benchmark table is mirrored in evaluation/coding_benchmark_summary.yaml for reproducibility and downstream parsing.
The full benchmark methodology will be released with the technical report.
Usage
This repository contains a merged checkpoint. Load it as a standard GLM-5.2-compatible causal language model; no PEFT adapter attachment or MoL router is required.
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
repo_id = "mindlab-research/Macaron-V1-Coding-Venti"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(
repo_id,
trust_remote_code=True,
)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
repo_id,
torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
device_map="auto",
trust_remote_code=True,
)
model.eval()
For production serving, use the same GLM-5.2-compatible serving stack you would use for a merged BF16 checkpoint. The full Macaron routed system, including Chat, Agent, Coding, and GenUI specialists, remains available through Macaron-V1-Venti and the Mixture of LoRA (MoL) serving harness.
Macaron Artifacts
Macaron Artifacts is the companion local WebUI and plugin bundle for viewing Macaron sessions and generated artifacts. It supports Claude Code, Codex, and Kimi Code, and can run against Macaron or another Anthropic-compatible endpoint.
Install it as a plugin in the agent runtime you use:
# Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/MindLab-Research/macaron-artifacts
/plugin install macaron@macaron
# Codex
codex plugin marketplace add https://github.com/MindLab-Research/macaron-artifacts
codex plugin add macaron@macaron
# Kimi Code
/plugins install https://github.com/MindLab-Research/macaron-artifacts
/reload
