casperhansen reports DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 running at 20 tokens/s on a single RTX 3090 with 64GB RAM, with no quality loss. Stack: vLLM frontend for scheduling, tool calling and OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible APIs, ExLlamaV3 for the forward pass. Shared DSpark speculative decoding benchmarks show 21.3 tok/s decode at 8K prompt in nvme mode, and time-to-first-token after an 8K cached prefix beating GLM-5.3-Flash (8.0s vs 8.9s for 400 new tokens). He plans to replace ExLlamaV3 with his own forward pass.
