How it’s rated

Quality 74Great quality (A) · 74 of 100: how capable the model is at Q8_0, whatever it runs on. Match score 75/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.: How capable the model itself is at Q8_0, from its editorial quality tier scaled by the quantization or precision. It’s the same on any hardware that runs this variant. Scale: A+ 85+ · A 70+ · B 55+ · C 40+ · D under 40.
Runs Very slow: How well it runs on the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 / 7 1700 / 2600 / 2700 NAS (64 GB): speed, capped by how well it fits in memory. Runs great: 30+ tokens/s (or near the image, video or decision speed target) · Runs well: 10+ tokens/s · Slow: 3+ tokens/s · Very slow: under 3 · Won’t run: doesn’t fit even with offload. A tight fit or RAM offload caps it at Runs well; heavy offload caps it at Slow.

Match score

To order lists, each result also gets a match score out of 100 from four parts. It favors the most capable model that still runs well.

Model qualityEditorial quality tier of the model, scaled by the quantization or precision used.	33.3 / 45
Memory fitFull marks when the model fits in the share of the NAS’s memory that models can use (the rest stays with the NAS system and its storage services); fewer when it goes past that limit.	25.0 / 25
SpeedGeneration speed against a 40 tokens/s target for LLMs, or render time against a target for image and video.	1.8 / 15
Memory useRewards using the memory you have, so a bigger, better variant beats a tiny one that leaves most memory idle.	15.0 / 15
Match score	75.1 / 100

The match score orders results; it is not shown as a grade. Quality and Runs are the two ratings in the tables.

Quick answers

How much memory does GLM-Z1 32B (0414) need on the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 / 7 1700 / 2600 / 2700 NAS 64GB?

At Q8_0 it needs about 40.0 GB. The AMD Ryzen 5 1600 / 7 1700 / 2600 / 2700 NAS 64GB has 54.4 GB usable.

How fast is GLM-Z1 32B (0414) on the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 / 7 1700 / 2600 / 2700 NAS 64GB?

About 0.6 tok/s at Q8_0, an estimate from the hardware’s memory bandwidth and the size of the model.

Which quantization of GLM-Z1 32B (0414) should I use on the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 / 7 1700 / 2600 / 2700 NAS 64GB?

Q8_0. Of the versions that fit, it is the one that runs best; when two run equally well, the check prefers the higher-rated one.

Estimates come from published hardware specs and our open formulas, not from running the model on your machine. Real speed varies with runtime, drivers and settings. Numbers marked “Measured” come from a linked benchmark.
