Updated: 2026-06-15

**No, not enough memory.** Needs ~7.3 GB even at Q4_K_M, but only ~4.5 GB is usable.

- Model: 9B, Q4_K_M 5.82 GB
- Device: 8 GB unified, ~4.5 GB usable for weights
- Needs ~7.3 GB at Q4_K_M; recommended quant: n/a
- Best tool on iOS: Apple Foundation Models

Estimate. Method: weights + KV cache + ~0.8GB overhead. Sources: https://ollama.com/library/glm4, https://ollama.com/library/glm4/tags, https://huggingface.co/bartowski/glm-4-9b-chat-GGUF, https://huggingface.co/THUDM/glm-4-9b-chat.
