Quant ladder

Estimated memory for GLM-4.7-Flash on Radeon RX 7900 XTX
Quant	Estimate	Headroom	Est. tok/s	Verdict
Q4	18.8 GB	4.0 GB	546 tok/s	Yes
Q8	32.3 GB	-9.5 GB	314 tok/s	No
FP16	74.9 GB	-52.1 GB	160 tok/s	No

GGUF file size plus an FP16 KV-cache estimate at 8,192 tokens. The cache counts only the layers and heads named in the method on the About page.
Formula estimate: parameter count × bytes per weight × 1.20. No GGUF file size is stored for this quant.
Tokens/sec is a bandwidth roofline: GB/s divided by active weight GB. It is not a measured generation speed.

KV cache at 8K and 32K

FP16 KV-cache estimate: 0.4 GB at 8,192 tokens and 1.8 GB at 32,768 tokens. MLA models use the compressed latent plus the RoPE key from config.json, not a per-head KV.

Offload

The Q4 weight estimate fits in usable VRAM, so this page does not assume a system-RAM offload.

Ollama

This command pulls the Q4_K_M file from unsloth/GLM-4.7-Flash-GGUF, the Hub repo whose file size is used above. It is not an official Ollama library tag.
