Meet FreeToken: An Edge-Native MoE Serving Engine that Runs 753B GLM-5.2 on a Single Workstation GPU
753B frontier model on a single workstation GPU. FreeToken's MoE serving engine splits cache misses between PCIe and CPU — unlocking local inference without the data center.
Why it matters
FreeToken demonstrates a practical path to running massive frontier models (GLM-5.2 753B) on commodity hardware by intelligently managing memory hierarchies. This reframes the compute buildout: frontier capability is no longer cloud-only, and it shifts the economics of inference deployment toward edge/on-prem.
