This is really an amazing work done.

I want to ask that is there any chance to have the lite version weights which can support the lower number of GPUs to run locally? Like minimal requirements which can be minimized to between 2 - 4 GPUs Nvidia A40 or so for inference?

Please guide me if maybe I am wrong and overseen any already implemented workflow.

Hey, I totally agree with you! Running DeepSeek-V3 locally with just 2-4 GPUs (like the Nvidia A40s) would make it much more accessible for users with limited hardware resources. It would be great if there could be a lite version of the model that can perform inference without needing such massive setups.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to optimize the current setup for fewer GPUs, I'd be really interested in hearing them! Maybe pruning certain layers or using more aggressive quantization could help?
