Post Training Quantization

This model was obtained by quantizing the weights and activations of DeepSeek-V4-Pro to NVFP4 data type, ready for inference with SGLang and vLLM. Only the weights and activations of the linear operators within transformer blocks in MoE are quantized.

Usage

Deploy with vLLM

python -m vllm.entrypoints.cli.main serve \
    nvidia/DeepSeek-V4-Pro-NVFP4 \
    --tensor-parallel-size 8 \
    --trust-remote-code \
    --kv-cache-dtype fp8 \
    --served-model-name nvfp4

Deploy with SGLang

Requires SGLang PR #25820. The integration auto-detects NVFP4 from the checkpoint's hf_quant_config.json (weights are stored in FP8 with "moe_quant_algo": "NVFP4"):

python3 -m sglang.launch_server --model nvidia/DeepSeek-V4-Pro-NVFP4 --tensor-parallel-size 8 --trust-remote-code

Model Limitations:

The base model was trained on data that contains toxic language and societal biases originally crawled from the internet. Therefore, the model may amplify those biases and return toxic responses especially when prompted with toxic prompts. The model may generate answers that may be inaccurate, omit key information, or include irrelevant or redundant text producing socially unacceptable or undesirable text, even if the prompt itself does not include anything explicitly offensive.
