About
The original ChatGLM family of open-source bilingual (Chinese-English) chat models from THUDM (Tsinghua University KEG Lab and Zhipu AI). Pre-trained on approximately 1 trillion Chinese-English tokens with RLHF alignment, the ChatGLM-6B model achieved strong bilingual performance at the 6B parameter scale and became a widely-used baseline in Chinese-language LLM research. Superseded by ChatGLM2 in June 2023.
