GLM-5.3-Flash-tr3-4bpw is an open-weight language model from brandonmusic, listed in the AxForge catalogue. AxForge can bring it up on EU-owned hardware for you on request — with the licence handled where one is required.
About
GLM-5.3-Flash TR3 4bpw — current SM120 runtime This is the uniform-K4 EXL3/TR3 routed-expert checkpoint for GLM-5.3-Flash. The current v84 runtime supports three explicit TP2/EP2/DCP2 profiles on two SM120 GPUs: multimodal DFlash2, language-only DFlash2, and language-only MTP3. All use calibrated NVFP4 MLA KV and CUDA graphs. This is a custom vLLM/B12X build and is not compatible with stock upstream vLLM. Encoder reproducibility closure The repository now contains the complete, hash-verified R10 Python encoder closure used by the EXL3/MCG adapter, including r7encoder/r10codec.py (R10TrellisCodec) and the pinned lineage/encodetr3v31.py numeric core. It is published under reproducibility/r10/ with a per-file SHA-256 manifest and an offline verifier: The bundle is byte-identical to the immutable prior-control source at Hugging Face revision 7c73450f05a151439d0f184f216b1eefcc394a31. It contains the portable Python/numeric source, not a compiled exllamav3ext; that binary must still be built for the target PyTorch, CUDA, and SM ABI and is independently hash-bound by the adapter. See the bundle README for the exact adapter paths, lineage boundary, and licensing. Pick a serving profile The MTP3 option means the model's built-in MTP head only: it does not load or mount the external DFlash checkpoint. Choose DFlash2 when its modest C1 decode gain matters more than resident context/concurrency; choose MTP3 for the normal text-only daily driver. Run the current image The runtime image does not contain either checkpoint. Download/mount this EXL3 model and incoai/GLM-5.3-Flash-DFlash2 separately. The DFlash2 checkpoint is distributed under CC-BY-NC-ND-4.0; review its license before use. Docker Compose: Standalone serve script: The published profile has a 98,304-token request ceiling and allocated 129,473 KV tokens on the qualified pair. Its hybrid Mamba/DFlash rollback layout has room for one full resident request; additional requests queue. C2/C4 rows in the raw benchmark are therefore capacity-limited and are not throughput claims. Language-only profile For text serving, use the language-only profile. It disables the vision tower and uses the built-in MTP3 head by default,

Using it via the API
Once AxForge deploys glm-5-3-flash-tr3-4bpw for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (glm-5-3-flash-tr3-4bpw below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)
$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/chat/completions \

Licence
The weights are open but its licence needs a commercial agreement for business use. AxForge can arrange that licence and host the model for you — you pay AxForge, we settle with the model’s maker. Ask us for a quote. Read the licence ↗
