About DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp

DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp is a GGUF model based on deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp on Hugging Face. GGUF files are published by 2 sources (tarruda/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp-GGUF, unsloth/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp-GGUF). It has about 284.3B parameters, the deepseek4 architecture, a maximum context length of 1,048,576 tokens (values written in the GGUF).

There are 14 quantizations, with file sizes from 82.4 GB (UD-IQ1_S) to 162 GB (UD-Q8_K_XL) (actual sizes on Hugging Face).

Running Q2_K (100 GB) with an 8,192-token context needs an estimated 101 GB of memory, and an estimated 101 GB at 32,768 tokens. For 8,192 tokens, a GPU with 96 GB or more of VRAM, or a Mac with 96 GB or more of unified memory, is a rough guide (macOS caps how much memory the GPU can use, so leave some headroom). The smallest, UD-IQ1_S (82.4 GB), needs an estimated 83.3 GB at 8,192 tokens.

The original model is licensed under MIT License, which allows commercial use (keep the license text and copyright notice when redistributing). Check the original license for the terms of use. An mmproj file for image input is also available.

File size and estimated memory per quantization

  • Up to 8 GB
  • Up to 16 GB
  • Up to 24 GB
  • Up to 48 GB
  • Up to 128 GB

File sizes are the actual values on Hugging Face. Memory is estimated for each context length (KV cache f16). The formula is in How memory is calculated.

All memory figures are Estimated (KV cache f16). It should run on a setup with at least this much VRAM (or Mac unified memory). Click a value to see the devices and models that fit that amount (Find by GPU / Mac).

2 sources publish GGUF files of this model. Quantization types and file sizes differ slightly between sources, so there is a table for each source below.

Using image input: This model supports image input. To use images, an mmproj file is loaded as well.

About the "quality guide" (how far a quantization drifts from the original)

For each quantization type, how far the output drifts from the original model, grouped into six levels from values llama.cpp measured on Llama-3-8B.

The value is mean KLD (the difference between the original and quantized model in next-token probabilities); smaller means closer to the original. Quantizations made with an imatrix (importance data) come out slightly smaller. Levels use the value without an imatrix (or with one, for types that only have that).

These values were not measured on this model. Larger models and MoE models tend to drift less with the same type. Distributor-specific mixed types (such as UD-Q4_K_XL) cannot be matched by type name alone, so they show "-".

How to run

Mainline llama.cpp can load this model's format (deepseek4) from b9840 (Jun 29, 2026) onward. Ollama and LM Studio bundle llama.cpp internally, so an older app fails to load it with errors such as "unknown model architecture". If that happens, update the app.

Example commands using Q2_K. To use another quantization, replace the name with one from the table above. Commands for files from other sources are in each source's section. How to run local LLMs

Ollama

Run it by pointing directly at the GGUF on Hugging Face.

ollama run hf.co/tarruda/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp-GGUF:Q2_K

llama.cpp

Pass the repository and quantization name to llama-server (or llama-cli) with -hf.

llama-server -hf tarruda/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp-GGUF:Q2_K

LM Studio

Paste tarruda/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp-GGUF into the search box, download it, and choose the quantization from the file list.
