Colibri is a compact inference engine designed to run the 744-billion-parameter GLM-5.2 mixture-of-experts model on consumer hardware. It keeps the dense portion of the quantized model in memory while streaming routed experts from a large disk-based store as they are needed. The runtime is implemented in pure C, requires no Python or BLAS during inference, and can operate without a GPU. Compressed attention caches, expert caching, optional hot tiers, and speculative decoding reduce memory pressure and improve repeated use. A planning tool calculates safe disk, RAM, and VRAM placement before loading the model, while a diagnostic command checks system readiness. Colibri includes terminal chat, an OpenAI-compatible text API, and a browser client, but disk-bound generation can be slow on cold caches.
