A user on Reddit's r/LocalLLaMA subreddit shared their experience running the DeepSeek-V4 Flash model on an M-5 Air with 32GB of RAM. They detailed optimizations for faster prefill speeds, achieving around 50 tokens per second, though decode speeds were significantly slower at approximately 1 token per second. The user also experimented with running fewer experts than the default during prefill, finding that it did not always catastrophically impact performance and could retain capabilities like needle-in-a-haystack accuracy.
