DeepSeek-V4 can now run fully local via Unsloth GGUFs Here's what the quantization ladder actually looks like: ⁠1-bit: 92GB total memory 2-bit: 102GB ⁠3-bit: 110-135GB — runs on a Mac with unified memory 4-bit near lossless: 162GB ⁠Q8 lossless: 169GB A few things worth understanding about the Flash variant specifically: •⁠ ⁠284B parameters total, but only 13B active at any time — MoE architecture means you're not running the full model, just the relevant experts •⁠ ⁠The lossless 8-bit GGUF is 162GB, but the 3-bit drops to 103GB with no meaningful quality loss Run it via Unsloth Studio or llama.cpp. Guide and GGUF files are live on HuggingFace. The 1T parameter frontier model that was paywalled last quarter is now running on consumer hardware. How long before local DeepSeek outperforms hosted mid-tier APIs?
