DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 runs on 4 Radeon AI PRO R9700 cards, bypassing prior limits

A user has successfully configured the DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 model to run on four Radeon AI PRO R9700 graphics cards, achieving approximately 79 tokens per second. This configuration overcomes a previous limitation where the affinity engine would not start with more than two cards, a problem that appears to stem from simulation rather than actual hardware execution. The setup involves specific affinity engine forks and placement strategies to ensure all model experts reside in VRAM, eliminating the need for a host pool and improving performance. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates improved performance and broader hardware compatibility for large language models.
