Can I run GLM-4 9B on Google Pixel 10 Pro?

Compatibility verdict VRAM threshold engine
Yes, it runs slow on this hardware ~6 tok/s est.

Yes. GLM-4 9B runs on Google Pixel 10 Pro at Q4_K_M (~7.3 GB of ~10.5 GB usable).

Needs ~7.3 GB Device usable ~10.5 GB

Runs at Q4_K_M using ~7.3 GB of ~10.5 GB usable.

That figure is at a 4k context and moves about ±15% as context length changes. Google Pixel 10 Pro leaves ~3.2 GB of headroom.

~2,220M tok

At ~$0.15/kWh and the estimated ~6 tok/s, a million generated tokens costs about $0.05 in electricity. Versus a hosted API at ~$0.5 per million tokens, the ~$999 Google Pixel 10 Pro pays for itself after roughly 2,220 million tokens, so local hardware is mostly a fixed cost, not a per-token one. TDP is the peak draw, so this is an upper bound. Assumptions.

How to run it

On Android use PocketPal AI (Polished app, download GGUF and run offline.).

FAQ

Can Google Pixel 10 Pro run GLM-4 9B?

Yes. GLM-4 9B runs on Google Pixel 10 Pro at Q4_K_M (~7.3 GB of ~10.5 GB usable).

How much memory does GLM-4 9B need?

Google Pixel 10 Pro has room to spare. At Q4_K_M the weights are ~5.82 GB; with KV cache and runtime overhead, budget ~7.3 GB at a 4k context.

What is the best tool to run GLM-4 9B on Android?

On Android, PocketPal AI (Polished app, download GGUF and run offline.) is the go-to option. NPU acceleration is limited and chip-specific; most apps run on CPU. Expect 1B-4B class.

Weights are measured from GGUF files; KV cache and overhead are computed, so totals can vary ~15% with context and runtime. Any tok/s is a bandwidth estimate. See methodology.
