deepseek-moe-16b-chat-NVFP4-GPTQ

DeepSeek-MoE-16B-Chat NVFP4 (GPTQ)

NVFP4 quantized version of deepseek-ai/deepseek-moe-16b-chat using GPTQ via llm-compressor.

Model Details

Quantization Recipe

Quantized with llm-compressor v0.11.0 on an NVIDIA H200 GPU.

from llmcompressor.modifiers.gptq import GPTQModifier

recipe = GPTQModifier(
    targets="Linear",
    scheme="NVFP4",
    ignore=["lm_head", "re:.*mlp\\.gate$", "model.layers.0.mlp.down_proj"],
)

Ignored layers:

• lm_head — output projection, sensitive to quantization
• re:.*mlp\\.gate$ — MoE router weights (64-expert routing decisions)
• model.layers.0.mlp.down_proj — dense first layer, column count (10944) not divisible by group size 128

Serving with vLLM

pip install vllm
vllm serve soyrsoyr/deepseek-moe-16b-chat-NVFP4-GPTQ --max-model-len 2048 --trust-remote-code

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(base_url="http://localhost:8000/v1", api_key="unused")
