What is chatglm-6b?

ChatGLM-6B is an advanced bilingual language model developed by THUDM, designed specifically for Chinese and English dialogue. Trained on approximately 1T tokens, it represents a significant achievement in creating accessible, efficient language models that can run on consumer-grade hardware.

Implementation Details

The model is built on the GLM architecture and incorporates several advanced training techniques, including supervised fine-tuning, feedback bootstrap, and reinforcement learning with human feedback. A standout feature is its efficient quantization capability, allowing operation with as little as 6GB of GPU memory when using INT4 quantization.

  • Bilingual support for Chinese and English
  • Advanced quantization techniques for efficient deployment
  • Comprehensive training on 1T tokens
  • Implementation of human feedback reinforcement learning

Core Capabilities

  • Natural language dialogue in Chinese and English
  • Efficient resource utilization through quantization
  • Context-aware responses with history tracking
  • Local deployment on consumer GPUs
  • Academic and commercial usage support
