Frequently Asked Questions
- How much VRAM does GLM 4.7 Flash REAP 23B A3B need?
GLM 4.7 Flash REAP 23B A3B requires 14.9 GB of VRAM at Q4_K_M, or 24.1 GB at Q8_0. Full 203K context adds up to 77.3 GB (92.2 GB total).
VRAM = Weights + KV Cache + Overhead
Weights = 23.0B × 4.8 bits ÷ 8 = 13.8 GB
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 1.1 GB (at 2K context + ~0.3 GB framework)
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 78.4 GB (at full 203K context)
VRAM usage by quantization
Q4_K_M14.9 GBQ4_K_M + full context92.2 GB- Can NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 run GLM 4.7 Flash REAP 23B A3B?
Yes, at Q6_K (20.1 GB) or lower. Higher quantizations like Q8_0 (24.1 GB) exceed the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090's 24 GB.
- What's the best quantization for GLM 4.7 Flash REAP 23B A3B?
For GLM 4.7 Flash REAP 23B A3B, Q4_K_M (14.9 GB) offers the best balance of quality and VRAM usage. Q5_K_S (16.9 GB) provides better quality if you have the VRAM. The smallest option is IQ2_XXS at 7.4 GB.
