Official repository for the GLM-4 series of open-weight, multilingual (primarily Chinese/English) multimodal chat language models from Z.ai (Zhipu AI), spanning base chat models like GLM-4-9B and GLM-4-32B, the GLM-Z1 reasoning variants, and GLM-4V vision-language models. It ships model weights alongside inference examples, fine-tuning scripts, and deployment guides for frameworks like transformers and vLLM.

Use cases

• run a GLM-4 chat model locally on my own GPU
• self-host an open-source alternative to GPT-4o
• fine-tune a multilingual chat LLM for my domain
• download GLM-4 or GLM-Z1 model weights from Hugging Face
• deploy a bilingual Chinese-English dialogue model
• use a reasoning LLM for math, code, and logic tasks
• set up an LLM with function calling for agent workflows

When to choose

• You want open-weights chat LLMs you can deploy on-premises or on your own hardware
• You need strong bilingual Chinese/English dialogue, reasoning, or coding capabilities at 9B-32B scale
• You want to fine-tune or apply reinforcement learning to a mid-size agent-capable model
• You need vision-language (GLM-4V) or deep-thinking (GLM-Z1) variants from the same model family

When to avoid

• You only want a hosted commercial API without managing GPUs or model weights
• You require frontier-scale performance beyond what 32B open weights deliver
• Your hardware cannot accommodate 9B+ parameter models even in quantized form
• You need a fully managed, multimodal production service rather than DIY deployment
