Running glm 5.2 on a Mac studio

A developer reports running GLM 5.2 locally on a Mac Studio with a 2-bit quantization, claiming results surpass Opus 4.8. The model, which uses about 250GB of memory, now powers their Hermes Agent and Codex, enabling free, private, local superintelligence. The developer argues that local AI is no longer a fad, as this capability was thought to be a year away.

I can't believe this is real I have GLM 5.2 running 100% locally on my Mac Studio. 2 bit quant. The results I'm getting are better than Opus 4.8 It's now powering my Hermes Agent and Codex. 100% free, local, private super intelligence on my desk I also have it in a loop coding for me 24/7 now I thought we were at least a year away from this type of event. It happened today. The model takes up about 250gb of memory. So you can technically run it on a Mac Studio with 256gb, but you probably want the 512gb memory version (please tell me you listened to me 5 months ago when these were sitting on store shelves) With Fable gone, I now have Opus 4.8 level intelligence on my desk for free. This is the future. Local, private, secure, personal super intelligence.

If you're still writing off local AI as a fad or engagement bait, you are officially delusional 00:00
