Forum Reactions

Experts are discussing the practicality of running GLM 5.2 on slow computers. One user notes:

My main question is whether when put into practical use, this can be measured in tokens/second, or more like 1 token per minute…

Another user expresses enthusiasm for the project, saying:

Pretty cool! I’ve also been playing around with GLM 5.2 this week and was equally impressed.

Future Prospects

As one user points out, even slow speeds can be useful for certain tasks:

I have seen locally hosted LLM that are as slow as 1 tok/second still be very useful if you give it a project to do something overnight and metaphorically walk away from it, check back with what it has done in 6 or 8 hours.
