Speeds are estimates for a single request — one conversation at a time — calculated from memory bandwidth, model size and quantisation. Real throughput varies with the inference runtime and its version. Figures published by hardware vendors measure many simultaneous requests and are much higher.

The extremes

The ten fastest GPUs for GLM-4.5V

Ranked by estimated tokens per second, newest card first where speeds tie. Because generation is bound by memory bandwidth, this ordering follows bandwidth rather than any gaming benchmark.

The smallest GPUs that still run GLM-4.5V

The cheapest route in, by memory capacity. A tight fit runs the model but leaves nothing spare for a longer conversation.

What the numbers mean

Hardware requirements in practice

Minimum card

Radeon Instinct MI200

Memory needed

54.2 GB

Fastest

174 tok/s

GLM-4.5V sits at 108B parameters, which puts it above consumer hardware and into the range where a card is bought for this purpose rather than repurposed for it. 43 of the cards we track can hold it.

The entry point is the Radeon Instinct MI200: 64 GB of memory, IQ4_XS compression, roughly 68.4 tokens per second.

Top of the range is the B200, at roughly 174 tokens per second thanks to 8,000 GB/s of bandwidth.

About this model

GLM-4.5V was published by Z.ai (Zhipu AI),Tsinghua University, in China, in August 2025. The organisation is categorised as industry,Academia.

It works in Multimodal, Vision, Language, Video, and is recorded as doing language modeling/generation, Question answering, Visual question answering, Image captioning, Video description, Table tasks, Character recognition (OCR).

Its starting point was GLM-4.5-Air — most models at this scale are adapted from an existing base rather than built from nothing.

Because its weights were released, nothing about running it depends on a provider staying available — it is yours once downloaded. It is published under the zai-org organisation on Hugging Face.

How fast it runs, and why

Across every card that can run it, the middle of the range is about 97.6 tokens per second, and 41 of them clear the ten tokens per second that roughly matches reading speed.

Mixture-of-experts routing is why the speeds here look high for the parameter count. Only a fraction is read per token, but the whole thing has to be loaded.

Without the attention layout on record, the memory column is an approximation. It is close enough to choose hardware by, and least reliable at long context.

Training and provenance

The training run consumed about 1.8 × 10²⁴ FLOP. That figure describes the cost of creating it and has no bearing on how quickly it generates text.

It was trained on about 2,013,265,900,000 tokens of text.

Step by step

How to choose a GPU for GLM-4.5V

The table above has already assessed every card we hold specifications for against this model. Getting to your answer takes six steps.

01

Read the memory figure first

The table lists every card that can hold GLM-4.5V — around 54.2 GB at IQ4_XS. That figure, not the card's headline performance, is what decides whether it runs.
02

Match the context to your actual use

Set the context to what you will actually use. The cache grows with the conversation, and it is the usual reason GLM-4.5V stops fitting a card that seemed fine.
03

Decide how much compression you will accept

Compression is what makes GLM-4.5V fit smaller cards, at some cost in accuracy — IQ4_XS on the smallest card that fits. A minimum quality removes the ones that go too far.
04

Rank by throughput rather than spec sheet

Sort by speed to see how cards rank for GLM-4.5V. It will not match a gaming ordering — generation is bound by memory bandwidth, which is why the B200 tops it at 174 tok/s.
05

Look at the headroom, not just the fit

Tight means GLM-4.5V loads and works, with no room to raise the context later. Comfortable means you can. The difference matters more than a few tokens per second.
06

Open the card you have settled on

Every card name links to its own page, which runs the same calculation across the whole model catalogue. Worth a look before buying for GLM-4.5V alone — a card is usually bought for more than one model.

Answers

GLM-4.5V — common questions

Why does the quantisation differ between cards for GLM-4.5V?

Each card is shown running the least-compressed copy it can hold, and GLM-4.5V appears at 5 different compression levels across the cards that fit it. Bigger cards get the more accurate version.

How accurate are these GLM-4.5V speed estimates?

Every figure is derived from memory bandwidth and model size, not benchmarked. That is why each is published as a range such as 105–279 tok/s on the B200 rather than a single number.

What GPU do I need to run GLM-4.5V?

The smallest card in our catalogue that holds GLM-4.5V is the Radeon Instinct MI200, with 64 GB of memory. It runs the model at IQ4_XS using about 54.2 GB, and produces roughly 68.4 tokens per second. 43 cards in total can run it.

How fast is GLM-4.5V on a GPU?

It depends on the card. The quickest we calculate is a B200 at about 174 tokens per second; the slowest that still runs it manages considerably less. Reading speed is around ten tokens per second, and 41 of the cards that can run GLM-4.5V clear that.

How much VRAM does GLM-4.5V need?

About 54.2 GB at IQ4_XS compression, which is what the smallest card that runs it uses. Less compression needs more: the figures in the memory column above are recalculated for each card, because each one holds the least-compressed version it can.

Is GLM-4.5V open source?

Its weights are published, so GLM-4.5V can be downloaded and run on your own hardware. Note that open weights is not the same as open source in the full sense — it says nothing about the training data, the training code, or the commercial terms attached.

How many parameters does GLM-4.5V have?

GLM-4.5V has 108B parameters. 108 total, 12 B active. That figure is the total, and it is what decides how much memory the model needs — roughly half a gigabyte per billion at the compression most people use.

Who created GLM-4.5V?

GLM-4.5V was published by Z.ai (Zhipu AI),Tsinghua University, based in China, categorised as industry,Academia.

When was GLM-4.5V released?

GLM-4.5V was published in August 2025.

What is GLM-4.5V used for?

GLM-4.5V works in Multimodal, Vision, Language, Video, and is recorded as handling language modeling/generation, Question answering, Visual question answering, Image captioning, Video description, Table tasks, Character recognition (OCR). These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

Where can I download GLM-4.5V?

Its weights are published under the zai-org organisation on Hugging Face. We do not host model files — this site calculates what hardware is needed to run them.

How much compute was used to train GLM-4.5V?

Around 1.8 × 10²⁴ FLOP. That measures what producing the model cost and says nothing about how quickly it answers once trained — inference speed comes from memory bandwidth, not from the training budget.

Can I run GLM-4.5V if it does not fit in my GPU?

It can be split between the card and system memory, but GLM-4.5V generates painfully slowly that way — the nearest miss we calculate is short by 17.3 GB. Nothing on this page assumes offloading.

Would two GPUs run GLM-4.5V faster?

A second card roughly doubles the memory available but not the generation rate. With 43 cards already able to run GLM-4.5V alone, the case for pairing is weak.
