748B DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash model runs on €2k PC

A user successfully ran the 748B parameter DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash model on a consumer-grade PC for under €2,000. The model, using a 1-bit quantization and an optimized loading technique for its large Engram table, achieved a speed of 7.2 tokens per second. While the user noted a physics error in the model's output and questioned its practical utility compared to other models like Qwen, they expressed satisfaction with seeing such a large model operate on their hardware. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates that large parameter models can be run on consumer hardware with optimization, potentially lowering barriers to entry for advanced AI experimentation.

RANK_REASON User successfully runs a large model on consumer hardware, demonstrating feasibility.
