GLM-5.2 Weights Reduced by 423GB
EAccelerate_42 · x · 2026-07-13
The author claims to have reduced the size of GLM-5.2 by 423GB without altering the model:
- Reduced from 1403GB to 980GB
- Model size is 753B weights
- Results remain bit-for-bit exact
- No quantization and no retraining
The key insight is that the weights remain in a compressed state within VRAM, rather than reconstructing the full model first. The author mentions the full write-up and repo will be released in the next post.
