A Reddit user shares positive API testing experience with DeepSeek 4.1 Flash and asks what minimum hardware budget would let them self-host it at the same quality and 40 tok/s as hosted solutions — for coding, reverse engineering, and security analysis, with full context support. Preferably a self-contained box rather than a dedicated PC.
They note the same hardware could also run models like MiMo 2.6 or GLM 5.3.
