Notes
Q2_K
RDNA 4 card with improving ROCm support; Vulkan remains the safer default in llama.cpp. Q2_K needs ~115GB and relies on offloading on this card. MoE models still have to load the full expert pool into memory. Does not fit in 8GB VRAM (115GB required for Q2_K).
About DeepSeek V3
DeepSeek V3 (671B) is a chat, coding, ai coding, reasoning, multi-purpose model. Massive MoE model rivaling GPT-4 class. Only ~37B parameters active per token despite 671B total. Requires multi-GPU or very large unified memory (128GB+ Apple Silicon at Q2/Q3). Not for casual home use. Included for completeness and to show what the high end looks like.
