About

What GLM-5.2 is

Model Overview Description: The NVIDIA GLM-5.2 NVFP4 model is the quantized version of ZAI’s GLM-5.2 model, which is an auto-regressive language model that uses an optimized transformer architecture. GLM-5.2 is a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model for reasoning and coding that uses sparse attention (with an IndexShare indexer) to support a long context. For more information, please check here. The NVIDIA GLM-5.2 NVFP4 model is quantized with Model Optimizer. This model is ready for commercial or non-commercial use. <br License/Terms of Use: GOVERNING TERMS: Use of the model is governed by the MIT License, same as the base model. Deployment Geography: Global <br Use Case: <br Developers looking to take off-the-shelf, pre-quantized models for deployment in AI Agent systems, chatbots, RAG systems, and other AI-powered applications. <br Release Date: <br Hugging Face 06/25/2026 via https://huggingface.co/nvidia/GLM-5.2-NVFP4 <br References Nvidia Model Optimizer: https://github.com/NVIDIA/Model-Optimizer Model Architecture: Architecture Type: Transformers <br Network Architecture: GLM-5.2 (GlmMoeDsaForCausalLM) <br Number of Model Parameters: 753B in total and 40B activated <br Input: Input Type(s): Text <br Input Format(s): String <br Input Parameters: One-Dimensional (1D) <br Other Properties Related to Input: Context length up to 1M <br Output: Output Type(s): Text <br Output Format: String <br Output Parameters: 1D (One-Dimensional): Sequences <br Other Properties Related to Output: None <br Our AI models are designed and/or optimized to run on NVIDIA GPU-accelerated systems.

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys nvidia-glm-5-2 for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (nvidia-glm-5-2 below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)

$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"nvidia-glm-5-2","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'
