FAQ

Can the NVIDIA DGX Station (Blackwell Ultra) run GLM-5?

Yes. The NVIDIA DGX Station (Blackwell Ultra)'s 784GB of unified memory is enough to run GLM-5 at fp16 quantization (461.0GB required).

What's the best quantization to use?

fp16 is the highest-precision quantization that fits in your 784GB. It uses about 461.0GB of memory and 462.5GB recommended for comfortable inference.

What if I need more headroom for context length?

KV cache memory grows with context length. The numbers above assume a baseline 2K-4K context. For long-context use (32K+), add another 2-6GB depending on the model architecture.
