GLM-4.7-218B-W4A16

W4A16 quantization of zai-org/GLM-4.7 .

At a glance

Which variant should I pick?

40% Expert-Pruned + INT4 Quantized GLM-4 (218B total / 32B active params, ~116GB)

A highly compressed version of GLM-4.7 combining REAP expert pruning (40% experts removed) with INT4 weight quantization (AutoRound W4A16). This model is ~6.5x smaller than the original 700GB GLM-4.7.

group_size: 128
format: auto_round
nsamples: 64
seqlen: 512
dataset: NeelNanda/pile-10k

Reproduce This Model

# 1. Download the BF16 REAP model
huggingface-cli download 0xSero/GLM-4.7-REAP-218B-A32B --local-dir ./GLM-4.7-REAP-218B-A32B

# 2. Run AutoRound quantization
pip install auto-round

python -c "
from auto_round import AutoRound
ar = AutoRound(
    './GLM-4.7-REAP-218B-A32B',
    device='cuda',
    device_map='auto',
    nsamples=64,
    seqlen=512,
    batch_size=1
)
ar.quantize_and_save('./GLM-4.7-REAP-218B-A32B-W4A16', format='auto_round')
"
