Local LLM model fit

Can my GPU run GLM-5.2?

GLM-5.2 is a 744B GLM-5 model. This page estimates Q4 VRAM fit, Ollama command, context planning, and fallback choices for common local AI GPUs.

Ollama commandollama run hf.co/unsloth/GLM-5.2-GGUF:UD-Q4_K_M
Recommended GPU512GB+ unified memory/server RAM, multi-GPU workstation, or managed API; 24GB/48GB GPUs need heavy offload and are not practical for Q4

Best use

Long-horizon coding, large-repository context, frontend generation, and local sovereignty experiments on very large-memory systems. Weakness: No vision input and impractical for normal consumer GPUs; even 2-bit GGUF needs roughly 238-254 GB before runtime overhead.

Data sources and confidence

This is a practical planning estimate, not a benchmark. Real memory use changes with backend, context length, KV cache, quantization file, drivers, and offloading settings.
