> 320B total parameters and just 18B active parameters
This is pretty hefty for a "flash" model, even a 256 GB setup is insufficient at q4 - and q4 is already the worst-but-still-acceptable quant in my experience. The benchmarks look great, especially since GLM tends to be more honest than the average Chinese lab, but you’ll need to splurge to run it at home.
@edit: so many releases that I forgot to math. This fits just fine in q4, realistically the minimal hardware would be 192gb - so blazing fast on double rtx 6000 pro and usable on 256gb unified memory. You could even go with 5bit quant on 256gb.
… you’ll still need to splurge, though.
That's 160GB-ish for Q4...how is 256 insufficient?
Looks like the M5 Ultra Studio wait times are going to increase again. Already at 10-12 weeks, I wonder how long it'll go?
Speaking as someone who isn't really well versed in this, does 18B active parameters mean that you could potentially hold only the 18B parameters in RAM and stream the rest from a fast NVMe SSD for acceptable performance similar to how Colibri works?
