Running GLM-5.2 on a 25GB Machine
paulabartabajo_ · x · 2026-07-13
The author claims it is possible to run the near-frontier GLM-5.2 on a 25GB RAM machine, albeit "very slowly."
The focus here isn't the model's parameters, but rather a somewhat hacky yet elegant open-source contribution: it demonstrates that the "memory wall" isn't absolute, and large models can indeed be squeezed onto smaller machines. The author also encourages dropping a star on the GitHub project.
