FAQ
Can the Apple M4 Pro (24GB) run DeepSeek V4 Flash?
Yes. The Apple M4 Pro (24GB)'s 24.0GB of unified memory is enough to run DeepSeek V4 Flash at Q4_K_M quantization (23.4GB required).
What's the best quantization to use?
Q4_K_M is the highest-precision quantization that fits in your 24.0GB. It uses about 23.4GB of memory and 24.9GB recommended for comfortable inference.
What if I need more headroom for context length?
KV cache memory grows with context length. The numbers above assume a baseline 2K-4K context. For long-context use (32K+), add another 2-6GB depending on the model architecture.
