User shares M5U cluster performance data for GLM and Qwen models

A user on r/LocalLLaMA shared performance data for a dual M5U cluster, detailing setup challenges and benchmark results for General Language Model (GLM) and Qwen models. The user, not a programmer, relied on Deepseek for setup assistance due to insufficient training data. While GLM 5.3 achieved a prefill speed of 4.9k and 100 tokens/sec decode, the user found it too slow and opted for Qwen Flash Next, which reported an 8k prefill and 200 tokens/sec decode. AI

IMPACT Provides real-world performance insights for users considering similar hardware setups for local LLM deployment.

RANK_REASON User-generated performance data for specific hardware and models, not an official release or benchmark.
