DeepSeek V4 Flash optimized for Apple M2 Ultra, achieves 25.8 t/s

A user has optimized the DeepSeek V4 Flash model for Apple's M2 Ultra chip, achieving significant performance gains. The repacked model is 141 GiB, smaller than public GGUF versions, and runs at 25.8 tokens/second, with peak speeds reaching 42 tokens/second. This optimization also includes SSD KV cache and dynamic lanes, supporting a 1 million token context window. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates potential for further performance gains in local LLM deployments through hardware-specific optimizations.
