DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731: hardware requirements
DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 needs about 170 GB of memory at Q4 quantization — a 167 GB download plus room for context and overhead. That is beyond consumer hardware; use it through an API instead.

Download sizes by quantization
Lower quantization means a smaller file and less memory, at some cost to quality. Q4_K_M is the usual starting point. What is this?
| Quant | Download | RAM @ 4K | RAM @ 32K | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Published | 167 GB | 170 GB | 173 GB | measured |
“Measured” sizes are read from published GGUF files (deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731). “Estimated” sizes are derived from the parameter count and are typically within a few percent. The RAM columns add the context cache and runtime overhead to the download size.
