I have same question. I see the documentation says the model is 685B. I'm afraid of the scale.

A800 does not support FP8 computation, and we have not tested model inference in BF16 format.

I guessed that deploying a BF16 model would require 4*8 A800s.

As your meaning, in the A800, I can canvert FP8 weights to BF16 and deploy it by 4*80GB A800s? Right?

4 * 8 * 80

Since you guys seem to have some server experience, could you recommend a home server to use this model (can also be a used one)?

Are there any plans to release int4 quantization?

Sorry, but I think as for a 300B+ model, deploying it @ home it not a good idea. Running a 300B+ parameter model at home isn't practical due to the massive hardware requirements. You'd need over 1TB of high-speed GPU memory, multiple high-end GPUs, substantial CPU and system RAM, plus enterprise-grade cooling systems.

The power consumption would be excessive for residential use, and the total cost would far exceed using API access. For home server projects, you'd be better off exploring smaller open-source models in the 7B-70B parameter range that can run on consumer hardware, but for large models like this, cloud APIs are the more practical and cost-effective solution--And it is true because Deepseek recently announced a discount on API.

你好,我看paper里面

prefill: The minimum deployment unit of the prefilling stage consists of 4 nodes with 32 GPUs.
decode: The minimum deployment unit of the decoding stage consists of 40 nodes with 320 GPUs.

所以看不懂了
到底要多少资源?

1 节点=1台机器 = 8张卡

@earmer Thank you for your reply! It would be awesome if in the future, one could run a version of deepseek at home using NVIDIA's new project Digits https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/project-digits/

@Gloria2tt 你好 我的意思是说,这两个prefill和decode用的资源不一样 我不知道以那个为准 然后两个啥区别呀?
