1st promptCold start — includes initialization
>Write a Python function to sort a list
Here's a Python function that sorts a list using quicksort:

def quicksort(arr):
    if len(arr) <= 1:
        return arr
    pivot = arr[len(arr) // 2]
    left   = [x for x in arr if x < pivot]
    middle = [x for x in arr if x == pivot]
    right  = [x for x in arr if x > pivot]
    return quicksort(left) + middle + quicksort(right)

# Example usage
numbers = [3, 6, 8, 10, 1, 2, 1]
print(quicksort(numbers))  # [1, 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 10]

The algorithm picks a pivot, partitions the list into smaller, equal, and larger elements, then recursively sorts each partition and concatenates the results.
2nd promptWarm — model ready, no init overhead
>Now add type hints and a docstring
def quicksort(arr: list[int]) -> list[int]:
    """Sort a list using the quicksort algorithm.

    Args:
        arr: List of integers to sort.

    Returns:
        A new sorted list.
    """
    if len(arr) <= 1:
        return arr
    pivot = arr[len(arr) // 2]
    left   = [x for x in arr if x < pivot]
    middle = [x for x in arr if x == pivot]
    right  = [x for x in arr if x > pivot]
    return quicksort(left) + middle + quicksort(right)

Added type hints for the input and return type, plus a Google-style docstring.

What limits this setup

Usable VRAM is the main blocker for this model.

Not enough usable memory

The model needs 476.3 GB, but this setup only exposes 10.0 GB of usable VRAM.

Runtime ecosystem is narrower than CUDA

Intel GPUs can look attractive on memory per dollar, but local AI tooling, kernels, and model coverage are still broader and easier on CUDA today.

Best improvement path

Add more VRAM headroom

The first useful upgrade is more dedicated VRAM so you can fit the model without shrinking context or dropping to a much lower quant.

Prefer CUDA if you want the path of least resistance

If your goal is maximum runtime coverage, easier troubleshooting, and better support for new local AI releases, CUDA is usually still the safer upgrade path.

Frequently asked questions

Can Intel Arc B570 10GB run GLM-5?

No, GLM-5 requires more memory than Intel Arc B570 10GB provides.

How much VRAM does GLM-5 need?

GLM-5 (744B parameters) requires approximately 476.3 GB of memory with Q4_K_M quantization.

What is the best quantization for GLM-5?

The recommended quantization for GLM-5 is Q4_K_M, which balances quality and memory efficiency.

What speed will GLM-5 run at on Intel Arc B570 10GB?

On Intel Arc B570 10GB, GLM-5 achieves approximately 2.0 tokens per second decode speed with a time-to-first-token of 96800ms using Q4_K_M quantization.

Can Intel Arc B570 10GB run GLM-5 for coding?

For coding workloads, GLM-5 on Intel Arc B570 10GB receives a F grade with 2.0 tok/s and 4K context.

What context window can GLM-5 use on Intel Arc B570 10GB?

On Intel Arc B570 10GB, GLM-5 can safely use up to 4K tokens of context. The model's official context limit is 200K, but available memory constrains the safe maximum.

What should I upgrade first if GLM-5 feels slow on Intel Arc B570 10GB?

Add more VRAM headroom. The first useful upgrade is more dedicated VRAM so you can fit the model without shrinking context or dropping to a much lower quant.

Would CUDA be a better path than Intel Arc B570 10GB for GLM-5?

Often yes, if your goal is the easiest setup and the widest runtime support. Intel can offer attractive memory capacity, but CUDA still tends to win on tooling maturity, guides, kernels, and model coverage for local AI.
