ChatGLM3 is a series of open bilingual (Chinese-English) conversational large language models from Zhipu AI and Tsinghua University, including the 6B chat, base, and long-context (32K/128K) variants. The repository provides model weights, inference code, deployment tools, and demos for tool calling, code interpretation, and agent tasks.

Use cases

• run a bilingual chat llm locally
• deploy an open-source chinese-english chatbot
• self-host a 6b parameter language model
• build an agent with function calling using an open llm
• process long documents with a 128k context model
• fine-tune an open dialogue model for research

When to choose

• you need an open-weight bilingual Chinese/English chat model with permissive commercial terms after registration
• you want native tool calling and code interpreter support in an open LLM
• you need long-context variants up to 128K tokens
• you want low deployment barriers on consumer GPUs

When to avoid

• you need the strongest general performance, since newer GLM-4 models supersede it
• you only want a hosted API without managing model weights
• you need a non-GPU or very low-resource deployment
