Instructions to use zai-org/GLM-OCR with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use zai-org/GLM-OCR with Transformers:

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

pipe = pipeline("image-text-to-text", model="zai-org/GLM-OCR")
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
pipe(text=messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForMultimodalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("zai-org/GLM-OCR")
model = AutoModelForMultimodalLM.from_pretrained("zai-org/GLM-OCR")
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image", "url": "https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/p-blog/candy.JPG"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "What animal is on the candy?"}
        ]
    },
]
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]:]))

Multilingual powerhouse — testing for mobile deployment

This model covers German, Spanish, French, Polish, Russian — exactly the kind of multilingual capability we need for global mobile AI.

At Dispatch AI (FZE, UAE), we're building mobile AI that works for everyone. Models like this are the foundation.

We benchmark multilingual models on our 40-phone farm (Snapdragon 865) to see which maintain quality across languages when quantized to 4-bit. Results vary wildly — some lose 30% quality in non-English after quantization.

Would love to see multilingual eval at different quantization levels.
