Rust for CUDA won't make your models faster
Nvidia's native Rust support for GPU programming is a reliability shift at the systems layer, not a speedup - it matters only if you write custom device code.
Zhipu built its own inference stack for GLM
GLM built its own inference infrastructure to serve LLMs cheaply on constrained, mixed hardware. Here's what breaks in generic stacks and what to copy.
A 4B model outplans Postgres
