Frequently Asked Questions
- How much VRAM does GLM 4.7 Flash Ultimate Irrefusable Heretic need?
GLM 4.7 Flash Ultimate Irrefusable Heretic requires 19.1 GB of VRAM at Q4_K_M, or 61.0 GB at BF16. Full 203K context adds up to 77.3 GB (96.3 GB total).
VRAM = Weights + KV Cache + Overhead
Weights = 29.9B × 4.8 bits ÷ 8 = 18 GB
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 1.1 GB (at 2K context + ~0.3 GB framework)
KV Cache + Overhead ≈ 78.3 GB (at full 203K context)
VRAM usage by quantization
Q4_K_M19.1 GBQ4_K_M + full context96.3 GB- Can NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 run GLM 4.7 Flash Ultimate Irrefusable Heretic?
Yes, at Q5_K_M (22.4 GB) or lower. Higher quantizations like Q6_K (25.8 GB) exceed the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090's 24 GB.
- What's the best quantization for GLM 4.7 Flash Ultimate Irrefusable Heretic?
For GLM 4.7 Flash Ultimate Irrefusable Heretic, Q4_K_M (19.1 GB) offers the best balance of quality and VRAM usage. Q5_K_M (22.4 GB) provides better quality if you have the VRAM. The smallest option is Q2_K at 13.8 GB.
