Can I run GLM-4.6 on Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra?

Compatibility verdict VRAM threshold engine
No, not enough memory would not load

No. GLM-4.6 needs ~221.3 GB even at Q4_K_M, but Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra only has ~8.5 GB usable.

Needs ~221.3 GB Device usable ~8.5 GB

Needs ~221.3 GB even at Q4_K_M, but only ~8.5 GB is usable.

That figure is at a 4k context and moves about ±15% as context length changes.

The gap is about 212.8 GB: GLM-4.6 needs roughly 221.3 GB at Q4_K_M and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra leaves only about 8.5 GB usable for a model. No single tracked device has enough memory; GLM-4.6 needs a multi-GPU or high-memory rig.

FAQ

Can Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra run GLM-4.6?

No. GLM-4.6 needs ~221.3 GB even at Q4_K_M, but Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra only has ~8.5 GB usable.

How much memory does GLM-4.6 need?

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra does not have enough memory. At Q4_K_M the weights are ~216 GB; with KV cache and runtime overhead, budget ~221.3 GB at a 4k context. It is a Mixture-of-Experts model (357B total / 32B active), so all experts must stay in memory; memory tracks total params, not active params.

What is the best tool to run GLM-4.6 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.
