Libraries

How to use pipenetwork/GLM-5.3-MLX-4bit with MLX:

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

# Generate text with mlx-lm
from mlx_lm import load, generate

model, tokenizer = load("pipenetwork/GLM-5.3-MLX-4bit")

How to use pipenetwork/GLM-5.3-MLX-4bit with Pi:

Start the MLX server

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

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": "pipenetwork/GLM-5.3-MLX-4bit"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run Pi

Uniform 4-bit (418.6 GB) is the fallback when those 9 GB matter. **Mixed 3/6-bit** (332.6 GB) is the 384 GB-class option, at a real cost: 3.0338, +5.9% over 4-bit and +10.6% over mixed 4/8 — it leads the ladder for the first ten layers and then 3-bit expert damage compounds. Among the builds that cannot be run here, the ladder puts 8-bit closest to bfloat16 (free-running error 0.131), then 6-bit (0.167); the **upstream FP8 release scores 0.173, between 6-bit and 5-bit**, which is why these are converted from the bf16 release. 5-bit (0.225) sits just above mixed 4/8 (0.250) at 100 GB more.
