Frontier language models from 600M to 480B parameters. Open-weight models optimized for edge devices through cloud-scale deployments, built on the Zen architecture with efficient inference via Rust, MLX, and GGUF.
Zen LM develops state-of-the-art language models spanning ten modalities from 600M (embedded) to 480B (frontier research). All models use the Zen architecture with RoPE embeddings, SwiGLU activation, grouped-query attention, and Flash Attention 2. Available through the Hanzo API, Hugging Face, vLLM, and local inference via MLX/GGUF.
# Using the Hanzo API
from hanzo import Client
client = Client()
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="zenlm/zen4-pro",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
)
# Using Transformers
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("zenlm/zen4-pro")
