Executive TL;DR:
- Experts explore alternatives to expensive RAM for GLM 5.2 performance
- Stripe RAID of SSDs considered as a viable solution
- Locally hosted LLMs show promise despite slow performance

Introduction to GLM 5.2
Getting GLM 5.2 running on slow computers is a challenge many experts face. One user notes:
Looking at the progress with DS4 project from Antirez and Colibri, are we probably going in the direction of having a stripe RAID of SSDs instead of RAM to get decent performance without losing a kidney to the RAM mafia? I really hope so.
Practical Applications
Another expert comments on the practical use of locally hosted LLMs:
My main question is whether when put into practical use, this can be measured in tokens/second, or more like 1 token per minute… 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.
Experts are working on similar projects, such as Unsloth split GGUF, to improve performance on affordable hardware.
