quant:
Q2_K (GGUF)

Reported by the source; GPU count, offloading and concurrent requests can change this figure. Check the full setup before comparing.

User reports DeepSeek V4.1 Flash at 41.1 tok/s decode on 8× NVIDIA A40 with layer-split execution. Setup is the TensorSharp engine with Q2_K weights; prefill measured 532–541 tok/s with GPU-resident Engram, and cold model loading from MooseFS took 144–155 seconds. Decode improved from 35.6 to 41.1 tok/s after reducing decode graph partitions from 565–577 to 8. These are project benchmarks, not a comparison against llama.cpp.

User reports DeepSeek V4.1 Flash at 40.3–40.7 t/s single-stream decode on 8× NVIDIA A40 GPUs with Q2_K GGUF weights. Setup is TensorSharp with layer splitting, F16 KV cache, and 65K context; prefill is 533–539 t/s. Engram tables are ~60 GiB and kept on GPU. With Q4_K_M, single-stream decode is 31.0–32.5 t/s and prefill 452–492 t/s; aggregate decode is 39.3 t/s at 2 concurrent, 48.9 t/s at 4, and 48.5 t/s at 8. Layer split beats routed-MoE tensor parallelism on this machine, ~32 t/s vs ~22 t/s, because the cards have no NVLink.

Reported by the source; GPU count, offloading and concurrent requests can change this figure. Check the full setup before comparing.

User reports DeepSeek V4.1 Flash at 32.5 t/s single-stream decode on 8× NVIDIA A40 with Q4_K_M GGUF. Setup is TensorSharp with layer split, F16 KV cache, and 65,536-token configured context. Prefill measurements use approximately 4.9K-token prompts. Q2_K achieved 40.72 t/s decode and 539 t/s prefill. Q4_K_M aggregate decode throughput was 39.3 t/s at 2 concurrent requests, 48.9 t/s at 4, and 48.5 t/s at 8. Layer split beat routed-MoE tensor parallelism (31–32.5 vs. 21.4–22 t/s).
