Model Quantization

The model was quantized from deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Pro with experts quantized to MXFP4, and shared_experts and attn quantized to FP8. Using AMD Quark, we re-quantized both experts and shared_experts to NVFP4 while keeping attn in FP8.

Quantization script

The end-to-end recipe lives in the Quark examples: examples/torch/language_modeling/llm_ptq/deepseek_v4/nvfp4, and is driven by run_pipeline.sh. The quantization scope is controlled by EXCLUDE_LAYERS.

export EXCLUDE_LAYERS="*ffn.gate *ffn_norm embed head norm mtp*" \
export SRC=deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Pro
export OUT=amd/DeepSeek-V4-Pro-NVFP4

bash run_pipeline.sh

Deployment

Use with vLLM

This model can be deployed efficiently using the vLLM backend. SGLang is also supported.

Evaluation

The model was evaluated on GSM8K benchmarks.

Accuracy

<table> <tr> <td><strong>Benchmark</strong> </td> <td><strong>DeepSeek-V4-Pro (Original) </strong> </td> <td><strong>DeepSeek-V4-Pro-NVFP4 </strong> </td> <td><strong>Recovery</strong> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>GSM8K (flexible-extract) </td> <td>95.38 </td> <td>94.77 </td> <td>99.36% </td> </tr> </tr> </table>

Reproduction

The GSM8K result was obtained using the lm-evaluation-harness framework, based on the Docker image vllm/vllm-openai-rocm:v0.29.0.

Install the lm-eval (Version: 0.4.12) in container first.

pip install lm-eval[api]
