How much RAM does DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp need?

DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp needs about 161 GB of memory at Q4_K_M quantization with 4K context. The download itself is 157 GB; the extra covers the context cache and runtime overhead.

Can I run DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp on a laptop?

Not on typical consumer hardware. DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp needs 161 GB, which is beyond a normal laptop or desktop.

DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp: hardware requirements

DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp needs about 161 GB of memory at Q4 quantization — a 157 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?

“Measured” sizes are read from published GGUF files (huihui-ai/Huihui-DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp-abliterated-GGUF). “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.
