A developer has successfully run the DeepSeek V4 Flash model on a single RTX 6000 Pro GPU, utilizing a customized version of vLLM called vLLM-Moet. This setup allows for a 130K context window, though it requires approximately 150 GB of RAM for initial loading before fitting into the GPU's VRAM. The key to this achievement is the compression of routed experts to 2-bit while retaining fp4 experts, a technique attributed to the vLLM-Moet developer. AI
