This deployment guide provides step-by-step instructions for running the GLM-5 model using TensorRT LLM with FP8 and NVFP4 quantization, optimized for NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs. It covers the complete setup required; from accessing model weights and preparing the software environment to configuring TensorRT LLM parameters, launching the server, and validating inference output.

GLM-5 uses Multi-Latent Attention (MLA) with DeepSeek Sparse Attention (DSA). It shares the same architecture as DeepSeek V3.2 and reuses the `DeepseekV32ForCausalLM` code path in TensorRT LLM. GLM-5 natively supports Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) for speculative decoding.
GLM-5 uses Multi-Latent Attention (MLA) with DeepSeek Sparse Attention (DSA). It shares the same architecture as DeepSeek V3.2 (with minor changes) and is served through the `GlmMoeDsaForCausalLM` model, which reuses the DeepSeek V3.2 code path in TensorRT LLM. GLM-5 natively supports Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) for speculative decoding.

This guide applies to the GLM-5 family, including GLM-5.2 and GLM-5.3. GLM-5.3 is a weight update over GLM-5.2 with the same architecture and code path, so the server configurations and deployment steps below are identical across versions. Note that GLM-5.3 ships a revised chat template: the `enable_thinking` template kwarg is replaced by `clear_thinking`, and `reasoning_effort` accepts `low`/`high` (default `max`). Clients controlling reasoning behavior via `chat_template_kwargs` should update accordingly.

zai-org GLM-5.2 chat_template.jinja enable_thinking clear_thinking reasoning_effort

💡 Result:

The GLM-5.2 model by zai-org utilizes a specialized Jinja template (chat_template.jinja) to manage reasoning behavior, including enable_thinking, clear_thinking, and reasoning_effort [1][2]. These parameters control the model's Deep Thinking capabilities [3][4]. enable_thinking This parameter determines whether the model engages in chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning [3][4]. - When enable_thinking is set to true (default), the model performs dynamic thinking [4][5]. - When set to false, thinking is disabled, and the model provides direct responses [3][6]. In API implementations, this is often controlled via extra_body parameters (e.g., {"chat_template_kwargs": {"enable_thinking": false}}) [3] or by setting thinking.type to disabled [4][7]. reasoning_effort This parameter controls the depth and intensity of the reasoning process [4][5]. - For GLM-5.2, the officially supported values are high and max [8][9]. - max is the default level, providing the deepest reasoning suitable for complex tasks like hard mathematics, multi-step planning, and agentic workflows [3][4]. - high provides a balance between reasoning depth and latency [3][4]. - While some documentation suggests mappings for other inputs (e.g., low/medium mapping to high, xhigh mapping to max), the core supported interface for GLM-5.2 focuses on high and max [4][6]. clear_thinking This parameter is related to Preserved Thinking, a feature that allows the model to maintain reasoning coherence across multiple turns or tool calls [7][6]. - By default, standard API endpoints clear prior reasoning [6]. - Setting clear_thinking to false enables Preserved Thinking, which requires the application to return the complete, unmodified reasoning_content from previous turns to ensure continuity [7][6]. These parameters can typically be passed through chat_template_kwargs or the extra_body field in API requests (e.g., via vLLM or the Z.ai API) to customize inference behavior [3][7].

zai-org GLM-5.3 chat_template.jinja clear_thinking reasoning_effort enable_thinking

💡 Result:

In the context of the zai-org GLM-5.3 models, the parameters in the chat template (chat_template.jinja) are used to control the model's reasoning behavior [1][2]. These parameters are typically passed via chat_template_kwargs [3][4]. Reasoning_effort The reasoning_effort parameter controls the intensity or depth of the model's reasoning process [1][5]. In the GLM-5.x chat template, the value is processed as follows [1][2]: - Valid values are typically 'low', 'high', and 'max' (or default to 'max' if not specified or invalid) [1][2]. - It determines the system-level instruction regarding how much reasoning effort the model should apply [1][2]. Enable_thinking The enable_thinking parameter is a boolean toggle that activates or deactivates the model's reasoning/thinking mode [3][4]. - Setting enable_thinking: true activates the thinking process [3][4]. - Setting enable_thinking: false disables it, allowing for a standard response mode which can be useful for reducing latency or cost in simpler tasks [3][4]. Clear_thinking The clear_thinking parameter is used to manage the persistence of reasoning content across multi-turn conversations [6][4]. - clear_thinking: true (default): The model clears reasoning history between turns [7]. - clear_thinking: false: This enables Preserved Thinking, where the model retains and reuses reasoning blocks from previous turns [6][8]. This is particularly recommended for coding agents and complex, long-horizon tasks to improve consistency and cache hit rates [6][3]. When set to false, you must return the unmodified reasoning_content in subsequent turns [6][8]. These parameters provide granular control over the model's computational investment and conversational context, allowing developers to balance performance, cost, and task requirements [6][3].

Correct the GLM-5.3 reasoning migration note. clear_thinking controls retention of prior reasoning; it does not replace enable_thinking. GLM-5.3 always starts generation with <think>, so renaming the kwarg does not disable reasoning. Document reasoning_effort (low, high, or max, default max) as the supported reasoning-control path, and explain when to set clear_thinking=true for chat requests.

The guide is intended for developers and practitioners seeking high-throughput or low-latency inference using NVIDIA's accelerated stack.

### Validated Features

The following features have been tested with GLM-5 on TensorRT LLM:

* CUDA Graph
* Multi-Token Prediction (MTP)
* Disaggregated serving
* Disaggregated serving with MTP

Because GLM-5 reuses the DeepSeek V3.2 code path, other features supported by `DeepseekV32ForCausalLM` are expected to work but have not been separately validated. See the [Model-Feature Support Matrix](../models/supported-models.md#model-feature-support-matrix-key-models) for the current per-feature status.

### Disaggregated Serving

GLM-5 supports disaggregated serving, which separates the prefill (context) and decode (generation) phases onto different workers so each can be scaled and tuned independently. This can be combined with MTP.

Launch one or more context (prefill) servers and one or more generation (decode) servers with `trtllm-serve`, then start a `trtllm-serve disaggregated` orchestrator that routes client requests between them. Both context and generation workers must carry the same `cache_transceiver_config` to exchange the KV cache. Add the following to the config file used by each worker:

```yaml
cache_transceiver_config:
backend: NIXL
```

NVIDIA TensorRT-LLM 1.3.0rc8 CacheTransceiverConfig transceiver_runtime GlmMoeDsaForCausalLM

💡 Result:

In NVIDIA TensorRT-LLM, CacheTransceiverConfig is a configuration object used to manage disaggregated serving, which allows decoupling of the context-phase and generation-phase compute resources by transferring KV cache data between them [1][2][3]. The transceiver_runtime setting within CacheTransceiverConfig specifies the implementation used for these KV cache transfers [4][3]. There are two primary options: 1. CPP: The C++-based transceiver implementation, which is the default for most configurations [5][4]. 2. PYTHON: A Python-based implementation that provides additional flexibility, particularly required for specific advanced features such as certain V2 Mamba model deployments [4][6]. Starting with recent versions (such as the 1.3.0 series), an auto mode exists for transceiver_runtime [7]. When set to auto, the system attempts to select the appropriate runtime based on the model's requirements and the configured communication backend (NIXL is typically required for the Python runtime) [7]. Regarding GlmMoeDsaForCausalLM: While this specific class name appears in TensorRT-LLM's internal model definitions for MoE (Mixture of Experts) models, it is not a direct parameter or attribute of the CacheTransceiverConfig [8][3]. Instead, models like those implementing GlmMoeDsaForCausalLM may interact with the transceiver infrastructure by overriding methods (such as get_preferred_transceiver_runtime) to signal their specific requirements to the system's auto-selection logic [7].

Set transceiver_runtime: PYTHON for both workers.

In TensorRT-LLM v1.3.0rc8, transceiver_runtime defaults to None, which selects the C++ transceiver. That release has no auto model-preference path, so backend: NIXL alone does not select the Python transceiver required for GLM DSA KV-cache transfer. Add transceiver_runtime: PYTHON to both worker configurations.

lines 175 - 177, Update both worker configurations in the deployment guide to
include transceiver_runtime: PYTHON alongside their cache transceiver settings,
ensuring GLM DSA KV-cache transfer uses the Python transceiver.

Reuse the FP8 config (or the FP8-with-MTP config for Disagg + MTP) from [Recommended Performance Settings](#recommended-performance-settings) for the workers, adding the `cache_transceiver_config` block above. The context workers should also set `disable_overlap_scheduler: true`.

The orchestrator is launched with a disaggregated config that lists the context and generation worker URLs:

```bash
trtllm-serve disaggregated -c disagg_config.yaml
```

```yaml
hostname: localhost
port: 8000
context_servers:
num_instances: 1
urls:
- "localhost:8001"
generation_servers:
num_instances: 1
urls:
- "localhost:8002"
```

Clients then send OpenAI-compatible requests to the orchestrator (`localhost:8000`). For the full walkthrough, per-worker GPU placement, and multi-node/SLURM launch, see the [Disaggregated Serving guide](../features/disagg-serving.md).

### LLM API Options (YAML Configuration)

These options provide control over TensorRT LLM's behavior and are set within the YAML file passed to the `trtllm-serve` command via the `--config` argument.
