From this thread [0] I can assume that because, while 1.6T, it is A49B, it can run (theoretically, very slow maybe) locally on consumer hardeware, or is that wrong? [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47864835

#13So the R line (R2) is discontinued or folder back into v4 right?

#16The quality of this model vs the price is an insane value deal.

#17Hmm. Looks like DeepSeek is just about 2 months behind the leaders now.
If that is really so, it would be now be good enough to replace claude for us; we use sonnet only; with our setup, use cases and tooling it works as well as opus 4.6, 4.7 so far. We won't replace sonnet as long as they have subscriptions but it is good to have alternatives for when they force pay per use eventually.

And the active parameters come from the experts. For each token the model picks some experts to run the pass (usually 2 to 4, I haven't read V4's papers). It's not always the same experts.
OTOH, being DeepSeek, I foresee a bunch of V4 distilled FP8 models fitting in a 5090 with tiny batches and with performance close from 75 to 85% of V4. And this might be good enough for many everyday tasks.
Today is a good day for open models. Thank god for DeepSeek.

#20ollama run deepseek-v4-flash:cloud
so I had to feed the generated code and the error back into the REPL manually, but it nailed it the second time, and the Common Lisp code was very good.
