Can Mac Studio M3 Ultra 96GB run GLM-4.7-Flash?

Apple · 96 GB LPDDR5 · 819 GB/s bandwidth · Z.ai · 31.2B (active 3B) · MoE · model ctx up to 198K

Yes — the Mac Studio M3 Ultra 96GB (96 GB LPDDR5) can run GLM-4.7-Flash. At Q4 with the default 8K context it needs ≈ 18.76 GB VRAM (weights 17.16 GB + KV cache 0.6 GB + 1 GB runtime overhead), which fits within 96 GB. Decode at Q4/8K: ≈ 173.7 tok/s (estimated, batch 1). FP16 (≈ 64.0 GB) also fits, at ≈ 47.8 tok/s (estimated). 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	18.46 GB	Yes	173.7 est.
Q4	8K default	18.76 GB	Yes	173.7 est.
Q4	32K	20.56 GB	Yes	173.7 est.
FP16	4K	63.7 GB	Yes	47.8 est.
FP16	8K default	64.0 GB	Yes	47.8 est.
FP16	32K	65.8 GB	Yes	47.8 est.

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).
