User questions DeepSeek-V4 Flash quantization format

A user on the r/LocalLLaMA subreddit is questioning the quantization format of the DeepSeek-V4 Flash model. The user points out that a Hugging Face repository by K. E. Bartowski lists the model as MXFP4, but the original model's page on Hugging Face does not show this quantization format, listing only BF16, I64, F32, F8_E8M0, F8_E4M3, and I8 tensors. The user is seeking clarification on this discrepancy. AI
