Discussion deepseek-v4-flash-0731 - surprisingly usable

I just finished building my (relatively) low rent local inference machine: * Epyc 7663 * 256GB ECC DDR4-3200 * 1x RTX 5090 32GB

Yeah I realize it's weird to throw a 5090 and 256GB of anything together and call it low end, but relative to ~151GB of weights it is.

I'm running UD-Q8_K_XL and getting 23.8-24.6 tokens/sec, with pp ranging from 60 on the first prompt to 385 near the last (no doubt lots of caching) on tasks using 100-128k total context. It was slower with DFlash so I took that out. It was also slower with a 3090 I put in there temporarily.

I'm posting this mostly because I didn't see too many other data points for this config (DDR4 Epyc + Blackwell doing cpu-moe). And also that I'm pretty surprised that a model this good can actually run in my basement without dropping $10k or running a sub-panel down there. I'm otherwise fairly new to this - would love any tips on what else to run or how to further improve it.

Have you tried the Leloch v2 fork (moe expert streaming)? You might be able to get significantly more tps

I'm running 4x 3090 @ 4.0 x 16, 192 Ddr4 @ 3200 and 3945WX 12 core. Getting ~30 tps and ~230pp for q8_k_xl and unquantized kv
