Quantized DeepSeek V3 hits 247 tokens/s decode in just 162GB

A developer shared benchmark results for a quantized version of DeepSeek V3 (mistakenly referred to as V4 Flash in the original tweet), achieving a remarkable decode speed of 247 tokens/s.

Commenters noted that the model's footprint is only 162GB—physically comparable to about 3mm² of stacked 3D NAND in a high-end MicroSD, with roughly the mass of a bumblebee's brain. Despite this tiny physical footprint, it is enough to contain a high-resolution "mind" that encompasses humanity's written culture.
