GLM-5.2 Local Inference: Hardware Reality Check

@jcartu broke down why GLM-5.2 (1.1TB BF16) is unrealistic on Macs even with extreme quants — you need 6-8 GPUs at FP8 or an 8x RTX Pro 6000 setup (~100k EUR). Unsloth's GGUF quants dropped from 82% to 76% accuracy per a…

GLM-5.2 is being positioned as a near-Opus daily driver, but needs 12 GPUs or a B200 cluster — slower prefill/TTFT than Opus but faster TPS. Minimax M3 runs on just four GPUs and is strong enough for agent orchestration.…
