Run it on your own hardware

Weights are the sizes of the files a source lists, or an estimate from the parameter count where none does. Memory is an estimate: weights plus KV cache plus 512 MiB and 5 percent of the weights for runtime buffers. Check it against your hardware.

Start it with a local runtime

• vLLM

  vllm serve deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash

• SGLang

  sglang serve --model-path deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash --port 30000
