DeepSeek-V3.2-NVFP4-FP8-BLOCK

Compressed version of deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.2, with MLP/expert layers compressed to NVFP4 format and attention modules left in FP8_BLOCK format.

Creation

Creation script available at llm-compressor/examples/disk_offloading/deepseek_v32_example.py.

Running

To run on vllm, follow vllm & DeepGemm install instructions at https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/recipes/en/latest/DeepSeek/DeepSeek-V3_2.html

Serve on 4 B200s:

vllm serve "RedHatAI/DeepSeek-V3.2-NVFP4-FP8-BLOCK" --tensor-parallel-size 2 --data-parallel-size=2 --enable-expert-parallel --tokenizer-mode deepseek_v32 --reasoning-parser deepseek_v3
