Running Kimi-K3 on a Single 8xH200: Extreme Quantization Tested
Daemonix00 · reddit · 2026-07-30
A developer took to Reddit to ask if anyone has tested running Unsloth's Q2 or Q1 quantized versions of Kimi-K3 on a single 8xH200 server.
As new open-source models grow larger, the definition of "local deployment" is being redefined. The poster is looking for real-world performance metrics of these extreme low-bit quantization schemes and the specific CLI flags used to run them.
