No — not on this device

DeepSeek V4 Pro 1.6T-A49B at Q4_K_M needs 928.9 GB against 22.4 GB usable, and the shortfall of 906.5 GB is more than 256 GB of system RAM can cover at a tolerable speed. A smaller sibling or a lower quantisation is the honest answer here.

Does not fit 8K context Q4_K_M · 927.8 GB MIT Released 13 Aug 2026 New this month Not in the Ollama library

The 0813 refresh of the V4 flagship. Included as the honest ceiling; a terabyte of weights at Q4.

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

terminal
$ llama-server \
    -hf deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813:Q4_K_M \
    -c 8192 -ngl 1

The engine underneath most of the others. Every knob is exposed. More on llama.cpp.

01Download is 927.8 GB. Keep it on an SSD — a first load off a spinning disk takes minutes.
02Close anything else holding VRAM. A browser with hardware acceleration can sit on 1–2 GB.
03If it falls back to CPU silently, drop the context first, then step down a quantisation.
