Open Source Unix Shell Large Language Models (LLM) for Mac

CodeGeeX is a large-scale multilingual code generation model with 13 billion parameters, trained on 850B tokens across more than 20 programming languages. Developed with MindSpore and later made PyTorch-compatible, it is capable of multilingual code generation, cross-lingual code translation, code completion, summarization, and explanation. It has been benchmarked on HumanEval-X, a multilingual program synthesis benchmark introduced alongside the model, and achieves state-of-the-art performance compared to other open models like InCoder and CodeGen. CodeGeeX also powers IDE plugins for VS Code and JetBrains, offering features like code completion, translation, debugging, and annotation. The model supports Ascend 910 and NVIDIA GPUs, with optimizations like quantization and FasterTransformer acceleration for faster inference.

CogVLM is an open-source visual–language model suite—and its GUI-oriented sibling CogAgent—aimed at image understanding, grounding, and multi-turn dialogue, with optional agent actions on real UI screenshots. The flagship CogVLM-17B combines ~10B visual parameters with ~7B language parameters and supports 490×490 inputs; CogAgent-18B extends this to 1120×1120 and adds plan/next-action outputs plus grounded operation coordinates for GUI tasks. The repo provides multiple ways to run models (CLI, web demo, and OpenAI-Vision–style APIs), along with quantization options that reduce VRAM needs (e.g., 4-bit). It includes checkpoints for chat, base, and grounding variants, plus recipes for model-parallel inference and LoRA fine-tuning. The documentation covers task prompts for general dialogue, visual grounding (box→caption, caption→box, caption+boxes), and GUI agent workflows that produce structured actions with bounding boxes.

CodeGeeX2 is the second-generation multilingual code generation model from ZhipuAI, built upon the ChatGLM2-6B architecture and trained on 600B code tokens. Compared to the first generation, it delivers a significant boost in programming ability across multiple languages, outperforming even larger models like StarCoder-15B in some benchmarks despite having only 6B parameters. The model excels at code generation, translation, summarization, debugging, and comment generation, and it supports over 100 programming languages. With improved inference efficiency, quantization options, and multi-query/flash attention, CodeGeeX2 achieves faster generation speeds and lightweight deployment, requiring as little as 6GB GPU memory at INT4 precision. Its backend powers the CodeGeeX IDE plugins for VS Code, JetBrains, and other editors, offering developers interactive AI assistance with features like infilling and cross-file completion.

GLM-130B is an open bilingual (English and Chinese) dense language model with 130 billion parameters, released by the Tsinghua KEG Lab and collaborators as part of the General Language Model (GLM) series. It is designed for large-scale inference and supports both left-to-right generation and blank filling, making it versatile across NLP tasks. Trained on over 400 billion tokens (200B English, 200B Chinese), it achieves performance surpassing GPT-3 175B, OPT-175B, and BLOOM-176B on multiple benchmarks, while also showing significant improvements on Chinese datasets compared to other large models. The model supports efficient inference via INT8 and INT4 quantization, reducing hardware requirements from 8× A100 GPUs to as little as a single server with 4× RTX 3090s. Built on the SwissArmyTransformer (SAT) framework and compatible with DeepSpeed and FasterTransformer, it supports high-speed inference (up to 2.5× faster) and reproducible evaluation across 30+ benchmark tasks.

ChatGLM2-6B is the second-gen Chinese-English conversational LLM from ZhipuAI/Tsinghua. It upgrades the base model with GLM’s hybrid pretraining objective, 1.4 TB bilingual data, and preference alignment—delivering big gains on MMLU, CEval, GSM8K, and BBH. The context window extends up to 32K (FlashAttention), and Multi-Query Attention improves speed and memory use. The repo includes Python APIs, CLI & web demos, OpenAI-style/FASTAPI servers, and quantized checkpoints for lightweight local deployment on GPUs or CPU/MPS.

ChatGLM3 is ZhipuAI & Tsinghua KEG’s third-gen conversational model suite centered on the 6B-parameter ChatGLM3-6B. It keeps the series’ smooth dialog and low deployment cost while adding native tool use (function calling), a built-in code interpreter, and agent-style workflows. The family includes base and long-context variants (8K/32K/128K). The repo ships Python APIs, CLI and web demos (Gradio/Streamlit), an OpenAI-format API server, and a compact fine-tuning kit. Quantization (4/8-bit), CPU/MPS support, and accelerator backends (TensorRT-LLM, OpenVINO, chatglm.cpp) enable lightweight local or edge deployment.
