    DeepSeek V4.1 - GPU poor inference kernels?

    <!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Have the model downloaded and converted to .gguf on a 512gb ddr4 bioinformatics server. I don't expect miracles with a ddr4 xeon rig -- not until I can get my 2 x 12gb 3060s wired in anyways -- but is there an open PR on llama.cpp for DV4.1 flash…
