Run a 700B GLM on a Laptop: No GPU Needed, SSD as VRAM
笔记本跑7000亿参数GLM!无GPU也行? SSD当显存用火爆GitHub
A GitHub project goes viral: run a 700B-parameter GLM on a laptop without a GPU. The trick is using SSD as VRAM, trading storage for speed. The post doesn't disclose exact latency or precision loss, but the idea is straightforward: swap memory for disk. For developers without a GPU, this is a low-cost way to test large models.
