User explores running large GLM5.2 models on multi-node CPU cluster

A user is inquiring about the feasibility of running large language models, specifically GLM5.2, on a cluster of four Dell C6525 servers. Each server is equipped with dual AMD EPYC 7702 processors, 512GB of RAM, and fast SSD storage, totaling 2TB of RAM and significant memory bandwidth across the four nodes. The user is exploring options for clustering these systems to either improve token speed or load larger model sizes, such as Unsloth 4-bit or 8-bit versions of GLM5.2, for use in agentic coding tasks.

    Is it possible to run a giant model like GLM5.2 on this cluster (4x servers with 512GB RAM + dual AMD Epyc)? 16 channel memory should hit 409GB/s per node.
