Libraries

How to use RedHatAI/GLM-5.3-NVFP4 with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="RedHatAI/GLM-5.3-NVFP4")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("RedHatAI/GLM-5.3-NVFP4")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("RedHatAI/GLM-5.3-NVFP4", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

GLM-5.3-NVFP4

Model Overview

Model Architecture: GlmMoeDsaForCausalLM
- Input: Text
- Output: Text
Model Optimizations:
- Weight quantization: FP4
- Activation quantization: FP4
Format: compressed-tensors
Base model: zai-org/GLM-5.3

This is an NVFP4 checkpoint derived from zai-org/GLM-5.3. It is optimized for Blackwell inference with NVFP4 weights and activations while retaining higher precision where needed for model quality.

Model Optimizations

This model uses NVFP4 FP4 (E2M1) weights and activations and two-level scaling. Layers outside of routed experts are left unquantized. The checkpoint uses LLM Compressor's compressed-tensors NVFP4 format.

Deployment

vLLM Serving

vllm serve RedHatAI/GLM-5.3-NVFP4 \
  --served-model-name GLM-5.3-NVFP4 \
  --tensor-parallel-size 4 \
  --kv-cache-dtype fp8_e4m3 \
  --reasoning-parser glm45 \
  --chat-template-content-format string \
  --speculative-config '{"method":"mtp","num_speculative_tokens":5}' \
  --trust-remote-code

Creation

The source model was compressed using an LLM-Compressor with experimental layerwise decompression/compression along with an NVFP4 scheme using perfectblend calibration samples.

Evaluation

This model was evaluated on GSM8K Platinum, IFEval, MATH-500, AIME 2025, and GPQA Diamond using lighteval. Evaluation was run on a vLLM server hosted on 4xB200. Generation used temperature 1.0, the glm45 reasoning parser, FP8 E4M3 KV cache, and the same serving stack for the NVFP4 and local FP8 baseline. GSM8K, IFEval, MATH-500, and GPQA used three seeds; AIME used eight seeds. Recovery is relative to the base model run in the same evaluation harness.
