Description

Updates GLM-5 support documentation for GLM-5.3.

GLM-5.3 is a weight update over GLM-5.2 with the same architecture (GlmMoeDsaForCausalLM) and code path. Verified against the HF checkpoints: config.json is identical across 5.2/5.3 on all model keys, and the weight maps have the same 59,585 tensor names and identical total size.

Changes:

  • docs/source/models/supported-models.md
    • Add a GlmMoeDsaForCausalLM row to the Model-Feature Support Matrix. CUDA Graph, MTP, disaggregated serving (and disagg + MTP) have been validated; features not verified on GLM-5 are marked Untested per matrix convention.
    • List GLM-5.2/GLM-5.3 in the architecture table and update the HF example to zai-org/GLM-5.3.
  • docs/source/deployment-guide/deployment-guide-for-glm-5-on-trtllm.md
    • Point the Models section and runnable snippets at the GLM-5.3 checkpoints, and call out the checkpoint naming flip: for 5.3 the base repo (zai-org/GLM-5.3) is FP8 and BF16 lives in -BF16, the reverse of 5/5.2.
    • Add a Validated Features list and a Disaggregated Serving section (worker cache_transceiver_config, orchestrator config, link to the full disagg guide).
    • Note the GLM-5.3 chat template changes (enable_thinking replaced by clear_thinking; reasoning_effort accepts low/high).
    • Fix the architecture claim in the intro: GLM-5 is served through GlmMoeDsaForCausalLM (which reuses the DeepSeek V3.2 code path), not DeepseekV32ForCausalLM.

Test Coverage

Documentation-only change. Markdown anchors verified against myst_heading_anchors config; matrix row column count matches the header.

PR Checklist

  • PR title follows the required format
  • PR description explains the change
  • Documentation-only, no test changes needed

Dev Engineer Review

  • Updated GLM-5 documentation for GLM-5.2 and GLM-5.3.
  • Added GlmMoeDsaForCausalLM to the supported-model and feature-support documentation.
  • Updated deployment examples, checkpoint names, chat-template notes, validated features, and disaggregated serving configuration.
  • Corrected the architecture reference from DeepseekV32ForCausalLM to GlmMoeDsaForCausalLM.
  • No code, configuration, API, or test-list changes were made.
  • Documentation-only scope is consistent with the stated objective.

QA Engineer Review

No test changes.

- Add GlmMoeDsaForCausalLM row to the model-feature support matrix
  (CUDA Graph, MTP, and disaggregated serving validated)
- List GLM-5.2/GLM-5.3 in the supported-models tables; GLM-5.3 is a
  weight update over GLM-5.2 with the same architecture and code path
- Deployment guide: point to the GLM-5.3 checkpoints and note the
  checkpoint naming flip (zai-org/GLM-5.3 is the FP8 repo), add a
  validated-features list and a disaggregated serving section, and
  document the chat template changes (enable_thinking replaced by
  clear_thinking, reasoning_effort low/high)
- Fix the architecture claim: GLM-5 is served through
  GlmMoeDsaForCausalLM, not DeepseekV32ForCausalLM

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The documentation updates GLM-5.3 architecture support, checkpoints, serving commands, API examples, benchmarks, supported capabilities, and disaggregated serving configuration.

Changes

GLM-5.3 documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Model support and validated capabilities
docs/source/deployment-guide/deployment-guide-for-glm-5-on-trtllm.md, docs/source/models/supported-models.md
The documentation identifies GlmMoeDsaForCausalLM, adds GLM-5.2 and GLM-5.3 support, and records feature support states.
Checkpoint and serving commands
docs/source/deployment-guide/deployment-guide-for-glm-5-on-trtllm.md
Checkpoint paths, server commands, completion examples, response identifiers, and benchmark commands now use zai-org/GLM-5.3.
Disaggregated serving workflow
docs/source/deployment-guide/deployment-guide-for-glm-5-on-trtllm.md
The guide adds prefill and decode worker settings, NIXL KV-cache transfer, optional MTP configuration, orchestrator startup, endpoint configuration, and client routing.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f3b99

The documentation currently gives incorrect GLM-5.3 reasoning-control guidance and an incomplete disaggregated-serving configuration, which could lead users to receive unintended reasoning behavior or fail to run KV-cache transfer successfully; the model-name mismatch is a minor additional usability issue.

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.

Align the served model name with the documented model ID. An existing /models/GLM-5.3 directory is exposed as GLM-5.3, not /models/GLM-5.3. The request, sample response, and benchmark use zai-org/GLM-5.3. Add --served_model_name zai-org/GLM-5.3 to the launch command so /v1/models and responses use the documented ID.

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.
