Q: How fast is GLM-5.3-Flash (Ox Alpha) on the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti?

~3.4–6.1 tok/s (active-expert estimate) on the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. computed roofline: 112.1 GB/s × 0.28–0.50 efficiency window / 9.2GB (Q4_K_M) — bands, never points. MoE: file is 164GB (that decides fit) but only ~18B of experts activate per token (~9.2GB streamed) — band below is the active-expert estimate, optimistic; community MoE rows run several× the naive bandwidth math

Question 1

Can the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti run GLM-5.3-Flash (Ox Alpha)?

Accepted Answer
