DeepSeek V4 Flash (284B parameters) requires approximately 160.8 GB of VRAM with NVFP4 quantization. As a Mixture of Experts model with 13B active parameters, it uses less memory than its total parameter count suggests. For the best balance of quality and speed, we recommend hardware with at least 185 GB of VRAM.

About this model

DeepSeek V4 Flash is the lighter 284B-parameter sparse MoE sibling of V4 Pro (13B active, 256 routed + 1 shared expert) with the same 1M-token context. Experts ship natively in FP4, so the real on-disk footprint is roughly 158 GB rather than the FP16 size โ€” it fits a single 192 GB unified-memory machine or a 2-4 GPU server while keeping near-frontier reasoning and coding quality.
