A user on Reddit's r/LocalLLaMA subreddit detailed their experiments in running the dsv4-flash-0731 model with 4-bit quantization on a system with 128GB of RAM and approximately 60GB of VRAM. Despite initial challenges with slow token generation and prompt processing speeds due to hardware limitations and model size exceeding available RAM, the user implemented several optimizations. These included patching llama.cpp to manage memory more efficiently, pinning model experts to host RAM, and a novel approach of using a lower-quantized model specifically for prompt processing to improve speed.
