Can I run GLM-4.5-Air on Google Pixel 9 Pro?
No. GLM-4.5-Air needs ~71.8 GB even at Q4_K_M, but Google Pixel 9 Pro only has ~10.5 GB usable.
Needs ~71.8 GB even at Q4_K_M, but only ~10.5 GB is usable.
That figure is at a 4k context and moves about ±15% as context length changes.
The gap is about 61.3 GB: GLM-4.5-Air needs roughly 71.8 GB at Q4_K_M and Google Pixel 9 Pro leaves only about 10.5 GB usable for a model. The lightest tracked hardware that runs GLM-4.5-Air is the Apple M4 Max (128GB) at 128 GB. See GLM-4.5-Air on Apple M4 Max (128GB).

FAQ
Can Google Pixel 9 Pro run GLM-4.5-Air?
No. GLM-4.5-Air needs ~71.8 GB even at Q4_K_M, but Google Pixel 9 Pro only has ~10.5 GB usable.
How much memory does GLM-4.5-Air need?
Google Pixel 9 Pro does not have enough memory. At Q4_K_M the weights are ~68.45 GB; with KV cache and runtime overhead, budget ~71.8 GB at a 4k context. It is a Mixture-of-Experts model (106B total / 12B active), so all experts must stay in memory; memory tracks total params, not active params.
What is the best tool to run GLM-4.5-Air 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.
