No — not on this device
DeepSeek V4 Pro 1.6T-A49B at Q4_K_M needs 928.9 GB against 96.0 GB usable, and the shortfall of 832.9 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.

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.
How to run it
$ pip install mlx-lm $ mlx_lm.generate --model mlx-community/DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813-4bit \ --max-tokens 512 --prompt "Hello"

01Download is 927.8 GB. Keep it on an SSD — a first load off a spinning disk takes minutes.
02macOS caps what the GPU may wire down at about 96.0 GB of 128 GB. Raising it with iogpu.wired_limit_mb is possible, and risky.
03If it falls back to CPU silently, drop the context first, then step down a quantisation.
