carrigmat · x · 2026-08-27
Developer carrigmat corrects an earlier link to a complete hardware + software setup for running Deepseek-R1 locally — the actual model, no distillations, with Q8 quantization for full quality, at a total cost of $6,000, with all download and part links included.
With the full 16-drive array, he claims the system would even be ready for the 10T-parameter models of 2027.
