Cheapest GPU to run keys-DeepSeekV4-Flash-GA-0731-Dspark-Abliterated-32-32 by precision
663GB
Full precision. Best quality, highest memory.
332GB
8-bit quantized. ~2x smaller, minimal quality loss.
166GB
4-bit quantized. ~4x smaller, runs on smaller GPUs.
Inference vs fine-tuning keys-DeepSeekV4-Flash-GA-0731-Dspark-Abliterated-32-32
Inference only holds the model weights plus a KV cache, so it is the cheapest setup. LoRA fine-tuning adds a small adapter and roughly 50% more memory. Full fine-tuning holds gradients and optimizer state on top of the weights, which is about 4x the inference footprint, so it often needs multiple GPUs even when inference fits on one. For keys-DeepSeekV4-Flash-GA-0731-Dspark-Abliterated-32-32, an on-demand RTX PRO 6000 96GB instance covers inference and LoRA, while a full fine-tune needs several times that memory and often spans multiple GPUs.

keys-DeepSeekV4-Flash-GA-0731-Dspark-Abliterated-32-32 GPU questions
VRAM, GPU choice and cost questions for running keys-DeepSeekV4-Flash-GA-0731-Dspark-Abliterated-32-32 on cloud GPUs.
keys-DeepSeekV4-Flash-GA-0731-Dspark-Abliterated-32-32 has about 304B parameters. At FP16 it needs roughly 663 GB of VRAM for inference, including weights, activations, and KV cache. Quantized to INT4 that drops to around 166 GB. Leave about 10% headroom for production traffic.
For FP16 inference, the cheapest fit on Spheron AI is 8x RTX PRO 6000 96GB from $9.12/hr. If you quantize to INT4, 4x RTX 6000 Ada 48GB at about $3.12/hr runs it for less. Pricing is aggregated live from 5+ data center partners with per-minute billing.
LoRA fine-tuning adds roughly 50% on top of inference memory, so it usually fits the same class of GPU. Full fine-tuning holds gradients and optimizer state and needs about 4x the inference VRAM, which often means multiple GPUs for keys-DeepSeekV4-Flash-GA-0731-Dspark-Abliterated-32-32. The VRAM matrix above shows the exact estimate for each setup.
We read the parameter count directly from the model's safetensors metadata on HuggingFace, then estimate peak VRAM from weights, activations, KV cache, and framework overhead at your chosen precision. The estimate lands within about 15% of real-world use for most transformer models.
Quantized to INT4, keys-DeepSeekV4-Flash-GA-0731-Dspark-Abliterated-32-32 needs about 166 GB of VRAM, so it is too large for a single 24 GB RTX 4090 and needs a bigger card or multiple GPUs. At FP16 it needs roughly 663 GB, which usually means a data center GPU. The precision picks above list the cheapest GPU that fits each setup.
No. Even quantized to INT4, keys-DeepSeekV4-Flash-GA-0731-Dspark-Abliterated-32-32 needs about 166 GB of VRAM, so it takes 3 x 80 GB GPUs at minimum, and 9 x 80 GB GPUs at FP16. The precision picks above show the cheapest GPU that fits each setup on Spheron AI.
keys-DeepSeekV4-Flash-GA-0731-Dspark-Abliterated-32-32 needs 9 x 80 GB GPUs at FP16 (about 663 GB of VRAM), 5 x 80 GB GPUs at INT8 (332 GB) and 3 x 80 GB GPUs at INT4 (166 GB). At FP16 that is more than one 8-GPU node, so plan for a multi-node cluster with a fast interconnect. Smaller cards such as 48 GB or 24 GB GPUs need proportionally more of them.
keys-DeepSeekV4-Flash-GA-0731-Dspark-Abliterated-32-32 needs about 332 GB of VRAM at INT8, roughly half its FP16 footprint of 663 GB. The cheapest INT8 fit on Spheron AI is 8x RTX 6000 Ada 48GB at about $6.24/hr. INT8 is the usual middle ground: half the memory of FP16, with a smaller quality drop than 4-bit quantization.
Running keys-DeepSeekV4-Flash-GA-0731-Dspark-Abliterated-32-32 around the clock at FP16 costs about $6,658 a month on 8x RTX PRO 6000 96GB (730 hours at $9.12/hr at the spot rate, which can be reclaimed). Quantized to INT4 it costs about $2,278 a month on 4x RTX 6000 Ada 48GB (730 hours at $3.12/hr). Spheron AI bills per minute, so stopping the instance when it is idle cuts that figure directly.
keys-DeepSeekV4-Flash-GA-0731-Dspark-Abliterated-32-32 needs about 663 GB at FP16, 332 GB at INT8 and 166 GB at INT4. Use FP16 when output quality matters most or you plan to fine-tune, INT8 for most production inference, and INT4 when cost or GPU size is the constraint: the cheapest INT4 fit is 4x RTX 6000 Ada 48GB at about $3.12/hr.
