Can GLM-5.2 (744B MoE) run locally?

GLM-5.2 (744B MoE) has a catalogue minimum of 256 GB RAM with UD-IQ2_M. Actual memory use and speed vary by context length, runtime, backend and system headroom.

Treat glm-5.2 as an advanced workstation/server-grade catalogue target with verified GGUF artefacts. Open the GGUF files and follow the upstream runtime notes; LocalClaw does not claim a one-click LM Studio install.
