GLM-5.3-Flash (321B MoE) running locally on AMD: RX 7900 XT, R9700, Strix ▎ Halo
I never expected to run a 321B model at home, so I jumped on this as soon as I saw it last night.
Project Maya:
(github.com/mw00/project-maya) runs GLM-5.3-Flash by keeping the hot experts in VRAM, the next ones in RAM, and the rest on NVMe. It was NVIDIA-only. So I ported it to Linux/ROCm, and the author merged it into v1.0.11 as experimental AMD support.
Maya-S quant, 8K context, ROCm 7.2, 4K-token prompts, greedy:
| Hardware | Prefill | Decode |
| RX 7900 XT 20 GB | ~415 tok/s | ~15 tok/s |
| Radeon AI PRO R9700 32 GB | ~500 tok/s | ~20 tok/s |
| Strix Halo (Ryzen AI Max+ 395, 8060S, 128 GB) | ~210 tok/s | ~18 tok/s |
| R9700 + 7900 XT (layer split + MTP drafting) | ~490 tok/s | ~34 tok/s |
The dGPU box has 192 GB of RAM, so most experts live in VRAM or pinned RAM.
With less RAM, more comes from the SSD and decode drops.
