DeepSeek-V4-Flash Local Setup Guide: Running Open Models on Personal Devices
Summary
This documentation article from Unsloth provides a technical guide on how to run DeepSeek-V4-Flash locally on personal devices. It covers the two main DeepSeek-V4 models (Pro with 1.6T parameters/49B active, and Flash with 284B parameters/13B active), their capabilities in coding, agentic workflows, and chat with a 1M context window. The guide focuses on running the Flash variant locally using GGUF formats, including quantization options like Q8 (lossless, 162GB) and Q4 (103GB), with hardware requirements for RAM.
