Common questions about running zai-org/GLM-4.7-Flash locally
This model delivers strong local performance when paired with modern GPUs. Use the hardware guidance below to choose the right quantization tier for your build.
Use runtimes like llama.cpp, text-generation-webui, or vLLM. Download the quantized weights from Hugging Face, ensure you have enough VRAM for your target quantization, and launch with GPU acceleration (CUDA/ROCm/Metal).
Start with Q4 for wide GPU compatibility. Upgrade to Q8 if you have spare VRAM and want extra quality. FP16 delivers the highest fidelity but demands workstation or multi-GPU setups.
Q4_K_M and Q5_K_M are GGUF quantization formats that balance quality and VRAM usage. Q4_K_M uses ~18GB VRAM with good quality retention. Q5_K_M uses slightly more VRAM but preserves more model accuracy. Q8 (~35GB) offers near-FP16 quality. Standard Q4 is the most memory-efficient option for zai-org/GLM-4.7-Flash.
Official weights are available via Hugging Face. Quantized builds (Q4, Q8) can be loaded into runtimes like llama.cpp, text-generation-webui, or vLLM. Always verify the publisher before downloading.
