GLM-4.7-Flash
How much memory it needs, what its licence allows, and whether it fits an office box.

Short answer. GLM-4.7-Flash needs about 20 GB of memory at 4-bit, 35 GB at 8-bit and 64 GB at full 16-bit precision, including runtime overhead and an 8,192-token KV cache. It has about 31.2 billion parameters and a 202,752-token context window. Licence in short: commercial use allowed. By memory alone, on ANVE’s launch configurations: ANVE One fits at 8-bit, ANVE Office fits at 4-bit, ANVE Office Pro (GPU) fits at 4-bit. These are estimates from its published size, not benchmarks.

01

What it is

GLM-4.7-Flash is a language model for chat, drafting and question answering, published by Z.ai (Zhipu) on Hugging Face on 19 January 2026. It has about 31.2 billion parameters and a configured context window of 202,752 tokens. It is a mixture-of-experts model: 64 experts, 4 used for each token.

Its card lists the licence as MIT. In short, the licence allows commercial use, modification and redistribution as long as the copyright notice is kept.

Hugging Face counted about 1,601,526 downloads of it in the 30 days before we checked (7 Oct 2026), and 1,863 people have liked it there.

The card lists 2 languages: en, zh (ISO codes as given on the card).

02

How much memory it needs

We size it the way you would size any model: the weights (parameters × bits ÷ 8), the KV cache for 8,192 tokens of context, and roughly 1.5 GB for the runtime itself. Real use varies with settings.

Each token of context adds about 0.05 MB of KV cache at 16-bit, so 32,768 tokens would add about 1.8 GB. This model uses multi-head latent attention, which stores a compressed cache.

Will it fit on ANVE?

Arithmetic against the launch specification, not a test: about three quarters of ANVE One’s 64 GB of unified memory for the model (as AMD’s Variable Graphics Memory allows), and the 24 GB on the graphics card in ANVE Office and ANVE Office Pro, which keep the rest of the stack in 64 GB and 128 GB of system memory. ANVE’s tested default is Qwen 3.8 27B; this model is not yet validated on ANVE.

What an office would use it for

This is the class ANVE runs by default (27B-class): strong enough for meeting minutes, summaries, drafting and question answering over an office’s own documents, and small enough for one box.

Questions people ask

How much memory does GLM-4.7-Flash need?
About 20 GB at 4-bit, 35 GB at 8-bit and 64 GB at full 16-bit precision, including an 8,192-token KV cache and about 1.5 GB of runtime overhead. These are estimates from its parameter count.
Can GLM-4.7-Flash run on a 24 GB graphics card?
Yes, at 4-bit by this estimate, with room left for context.
Is GLM-4.7-Flash free for commercial use?
Its card lists MIT, which allows commercial use, modification and redistribution as long as the copyright notice is kept. Read the licence itself before relying on this summary; it is not legal advice.
What is GLM-4.7-Flash’s context window?
Its configuration sets 202,752 tokens. Longer contexts need more memory for the KV cache, so the practical limit on a given machine can be lower.
