DeepSeek V4 Flash 284B-A13B at Q4_K_M needs 160.7 GB against 46.4 GB usable, and the shortfall of 114.3 GB is more than 64 GB of system RAM can cover at a tolerable speed. A smaller sibling or a lower quantisation is the honest answer here.
The V4 that 128 GB machines can actually run at Q3. Cache is modelled as a 576-wide latent; V4 compresses it further at long context, so this is conservative.
The VRAM budget
Quantisation ladder
| Quant | Weights | Total @ 8K | Max context | Tok/s | Quality | Fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q8_0 | 281.0 GB | 282.0 GB | — | ~1.3 | −0.1% ppl | 235.6 GB over |
| Q6_K | 216.9 GB | 217.9 GB | — | ~1.8 | −0.4% ppl | 171.5 GB over |
| Q5_K_M | 187.5 GB | 188.4 GB | — | ~2.1 | −0.8% ppl | 142.0 GB over |
| Q4_K_M | 159.7 GB | 160.7 GB | — | ~2.6 | −1.9% ppl | 114.3 GB over |
| Q3_K_M | 129.3 GB | 130.3 GB | — | ~3.5 | −5.4% ppl | 83.9 GB over |
| Q2_K | 110.8 GB | 111.7 GB | — | ~4.5 | −15% ppl | 65.3 GB over |
Quality is the published perplexity delta against f16 weights. Max context assumes an f16 KV cache; q8_0 roughly doubles it. This model uses multi-head latent attention, so its cache is a compressed latent rather than full K and V.
