Libraries

How to use GreenBitAI/GLM-5.3-Flash-4bit-paged with MLX:

# Make sure mlx-vlm is installed
# pip install --upgrade mlx-vlm

from mlx_vlm import load, generate
from mlx_vlm.prompt_utils import apply_chat_template
from mlx_vlm.utils import load_config

# Load the model
model, processor = load("GreenBitAI/GLM-5.3-Flash-4bit-paged")
config = load_config("GreenBitAI/GLM-5.3-Flash-4bit-paged")

# Prepare input
image = ["http://images.cocodataset.org/val2017/000000039769.jpg"]
prompt = "Describe this image."

# Apply chat template
formatted_prompt = apply_chat_template(
    processor, config, prompt, num_images=1
)

# Generate output
output = generate(model, processor, formatted_prompt, image)
print(output)

How to use GreenBitAI/GLM-5.3-Flash-4bit-paged with Pi:

Start the MLX server

# Install MLX LM:
uv tool install mlx-lm
# Start a local OpenAI-compatible server:
mlx_lm.server --model "GreenBitAI/GLM-5.3-Flash-4bit-paged"

Configure the model in Pi

# Install Pi:
npm install -g @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent
# Add to ~/.pi/agent/models.json:
{
  "providers": {
    "mlx-lm": {
      "baseUrl": "http://localhost:8080/v1",
      "api": "openai-completions",
      "apiKey": "none",
      "models": [
        {
          "id": "GreenBitAI/GLM-5.3-Flash-4bit-paged"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

GLM-5.3-Flash-4bit-paged

Expert-paged build of pipenetwork/GLM-5.3-Flash-MLX-4bit. The weights that are read a fraction at a time live in their own containers, so a machine loads what it needs rather than all of it.

file	size	holds
`model.safetensors`	5.89 GiB	resident weights
`experts.bin`	159.47 GiB	routed experts

Total 165.37 GiB — the same as the source. The bytes moved, they were not copied.

from gbx_lm.utils import load
model, tokenizer = load("GreenBitAI/GLM-5.3-Flash-4bit-paged")

Where the weights fit they are filled from experts.bin and the model runs the stock path at stock speed; where they do not, they stream from disk. Reading the machine decides that, not a flag.

To override that: GBX_PAGING=off holds the experts resident.

Checked at build time, while the source checkpoint was still there to compare against:

PASS layer-wise vs resident — 42 layers x 2 draws exact, 60.93 GiB peak for this gate

Quantization, tokenizer, chat template and licence are unchanged from pipenetwork/GLM-5.3-Flash-MLX-4bit.
