Can RTX 3090 Ti 24GB run GLM-4.5-Air?

NVIDIA · 24 GB GDDR6X · 1008 GB/s bandwidth · Z.ai · 110.5B (active 12B) · MoE · model ctx up to 128K

No — GLM-4.5-Air at Q4 needs ≈ 62.98 GB even at 4K context, beyond the RTX 3090 Ti 24GB's 24 GB GDDR6X. It would only run with heavy CPU/disk offload. Decode at Q4/8K: ≈ 21.4 tok/s (estimated, batch 1). FP16 needs ≈ 224.4 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	62.98 GB	No	22.2 est.
Q4	8K default	64.18 GB	No	21.4 est.
Q4	32K	71.38 GB	No	17.3 est.
FP16	4K	223.2 GB	No	—
FP16	8K default	224.4 GB	No	—
FP16	32K	231.6 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).
