ChatGLM2-6B is an open-source bilingual (Chinese-English) 6B-parameter conversational large language model built on the GLM architecture. It provides model weights and inference code with efficient deployment options including INT4 quantization and 32K context support.

Use cases

• run a self-hosted bilingual chatbot
• deploy a Chinese-English LLM on a single GPU
• fine-tune an open 6B chat model
• serve a chat LLM with low VRAM via INT4 quantization
• experiment with long-context dialogue models
• build a local assistant without API costs

When to choose

• you need strong Chinese-language chat performance with an open model
• you have limited GPU memory and need quantized inference
• you want a permissively usable open-weight chat model for research or registered commercial use
• you need long-context dialogue up to 32K tokens

When to avoid

• you need the newest capabilities like function calling or tool use (use GLM-4 instead)
• you require a permissive license without registration for commercial deployment
• you need a frontier-scale model for complex reasoning
• you want a maintained project with active development
