Public-source support evidence

DeepSeek-R1

DeepSeek-R1 is listed for local download in Ollama. A separately observed community Q4_K_M GGUF gives an estimated memory budget of about 487 GB; actual use depends on runtime and context settings.

deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1

DeepSeek-R1 is a text generation model published by deepseek-ai on Hugging Face. We have not written a summary yet; see the model card ↗.

MEMORY ESTIMATES

Which file should I grab?

The summary estimate of about 487 GB is the recommended Q4_K_M quant (404.4 GB observed), from file size × 1.2 + 1.5 GB. Each card is the largest observed quant whose estimate fits that capacity.

16 GB capacity estimate

Which file should I grab?

doesn't fit

No observed complete quant fits this capacity using file size × 1.2 + 1.5 GB.

24 GB capacity estimate

Which file should I grab?

doesn't fit

No observed complete quant fits this capacity using file size × 1.2 + 1.5 GB.

32 GB capacity estimate

Which file should I grab?

doesn't fit

No observed complete quant fits this capacity using file size × 1.2 + 1.5 GB.

64 GB capacity estimate

Which file should I grab?

doesn't fit

No observed complete quant fits this capacity using file size × 1.2 + 1.5 GB.

128 GB capacity estimate

Which file should I grab?

doesn't fit

No observed complete quant fits this capacity using file size × 1.2 + 1.5 GB.

Memory estimates are the observed file size plus fixed headroom (20% plus 1.5 GB runtime allowance); real needs also depend on context length, KV cache and runtime settings. Fit is an estimate; it does not establish runtime compatibility, speed, context length, or hardware performance. Text-weights-only estimates do not include a projector or total vision memory where unknown.

Terms: a quant is a lower-precision version of the weights; GGUF is a file format used by llama.cpp and compatible apps; MLX targets Apple silicon; vLLM is a model-serving engine for NVIDIA GPUs; the KV cache is stored attention state that grows with context length. Terms explained ↗
