Developer runs 744B GLM-5.2 model on dual Tenstorrent cards

A developer at Tenstorrent successfully ran the 744 billion parameter GLM-5.2 model on a dual-card setup, achieving a performance of 0.35 tokens per second. This was accomplished by adapting the Colibri project's approach, which optimizes memory usage by streaming expert sub-networks as needed. The developer meticulously verified each component of the model implementation against reference versions, ensuring high accuracy before focusing on performance. AI
