Build and Train a GLM-5.3-Flash Model From Scratch with Python

GLM-5.3-Flash combines linear and sparse attention, a mixture-of-experts design, and manifold constrained hyperconnections. A scaled-down version with 25 million parameters can be built in Python and trained on a standard CPU.

We just published a course on the freeCodeCamp.org YouTube channel that will teach you how to build and train a multimodal language model from scratch, covering both pre-training and post-training. The course is from @vukrosic, and all of the code, slides, and experiments are in the GitHub repository linked in the video description.

The model uses a 260-token byte-level vocabulary, a 192-token context, and a small vision encoder that turns a 32 by 32 image into 16 tokens.

After reinforcement learning, the model goes from solving 0 of 24 Python tasks to 16 of 24.
