Thinking about grabbing 4x Ascend GX10s

Reddit r/LocalLLaMA News

Summary

A user considers buying four Ascend GX10s to run GLM5.2, citing performance numbers like 400-500 tok/s prompt processing and ~15 tok/s output at 128k context, and plans for future open-source models.

Some in this sub have tested GLM5.2 on 4x DGX Sparks (or Ascend GX10) with 400-500 tok/s prompt processing and ~15 tok/s output at 128k context. Not blazing fast, but usable imo, especially with quantization. My thinking: If there's an open-source fable 5 sometime in december or next year, I would rather already have hardware ready to run it at a speed I can live with. 1000W power draw doesn't scare me off. Anyone running this setup want to talk me out of it (or into it)?
