Can I run GLM-4.7-Flash on Generic Android Phone (12GB RAM)?
No. GLM-4.7-Flash needs ~19.2 GB even at Q4_K_M, but Generic Android Phone (12GB RAM) only has ~8.5 GB usable.
Needs ~19.2 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 10.7 GB: GLM-4.7-Flash needs roughly 19.2 GB at Q4_K_M and Generic Android Phone (12GB RAM) leaves only about 8.5 GB usable for a model. The lightest tracked hardware that runs GLM-4.7-Flash is the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 (24GB) at 24 GB. See GLM-4.7-Flash on Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 (24GB).

FAQ
Can Generic Android Phone (12GB RAM) run GLM-4.7-Flash?
No. GLM-4.7-Flash needs ~19.2 GB even at Q4_K_M, but Generic Android Phone (12GB RAM) only has ~8.5 GB usable.
How much memory does GLM-4.7-Flash need?
Generic Android Phone (12GB RAM) does not have enough memory. At Q4_K_M the weights are ~17.05 GB; with KV cache and runtime overhead, budget ~19.2 GB at a 4k context. It is a Mixture-of-Experts model (30B total / 3B active), so all experts must stay in memory; memory tracks total params, not active params.
What is the best tool to run GLM-4.7-Flash 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.
