Can Gaudi 3 128GB run GLM-5.2?

Intel · 128 GB HBM2e · 3276 GB/s bandwidth · Z.ai · 753.3B (active 40B) · MoE · model ctx up to 1000K

No — GLM-5.2 at Q4 needs ≈ 419.31 GB even at 4K context, beyond the Gaudi 3 128GB's 128 GB HBM2e. It would only run with heavy CPU/disk offload. Decode at Q4/8K: ≈ 13.6 tok/s (estimated, batch 1). FP16 needs ≈ 1515.6 GB — does not fit on this card. Estimates come from memory-bandwidth math; rows tagged measured override estimates. Relative ranking is more reliable than absolute tok/s. Methodology.

Fit & speed by quant and context

Quant	Context	VRAM needed	Fits?	tok/s (decode)
Q4	4K	419.31 GB	No	13.9 est.
Q4	8K default	423.31 GB	No	13.6 est.
Q4	32K	447.31 GB	No	12.2 est.
FP16	4K	1511.6 GB	No	—
FP16	8K default	1515.6 GB	No	—
FP16	32K	1539.6 GB	No	—

Fits = weights + KV(ctx) + 1 GB overhead ≤ 95% of VRAM. Measured anchors are context-agnostic; the fit verdict is recomputed per context. A missing tok/s means the model is far beyond this card (offload-only territory).
