User reports DeepSeek V4 Flash MXFP4 at 36.1 t/s decode and 497 t/s prefill served across a Radeon 8060S iGPU and an RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell. Setup is llama.cpp with the rocm-cuda backend on two GPUs, the Strix Halo iGPU plus an external RTX PRO 6000 96 GB, MXFP4 weights (146 GB) fully GPU-resident with no CPU offload and the experts of 18 layers on the iGPU, under Windows. The repo also reports that on Blackwell a CUDA 13.3 build of llama.cpp loses 50-80% of decode past 8192 context: an unnamed 27B model on the RTX PRO 6000 drops from 72 to 35 t/s, while a CUDA 12.8 build of the same commit keeps 74.6 t/s at 8K. gpt-oss-120b runs 52 t/s on the iGPU alone, and Qwen3.8-Flash-Next Q4_K_M across two AMD GPUs gave 21.5-25.8 t/s decode at 4K.

long-contexttool-use

User reports DeepSeek V4 Flash 162B (REAP K144 pruned) at 13.899 tok/s decode and 538.958 tok/s prefill on a single DGX Spark. Setup is vLLM with NVFP4/MXFP4 expert weights and FP8 KV cache, 200K context, 14 GB KV cache, no speculative decoding. Validation used a 186,390-token prompt with 345.834 s TTFT and needle retained; the watchdog logged a low-memory kill at teardown, so the profile is proof-of-concept. K160 prefills at about 514 tok/s and decodes at about 24 tok/s with MTP.

codingagentictool-uselong-context

User reports DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 at ~9.8 tok/s decode on a single DGX Spark (GB10, 128GB unified memory). Setup is a vLLM-based stack (vLLM-Moet adapted for unified memory and sm_121) with 2-bit expert planes and an FP4 tier, serving 256K context with a KV pool of ~660K tokens. Decode uses the built-in DSpark speculative head at k=2; the recommended k=7 was slower at 5.1 tok/s. Prefill is ~500 tok/s chunked at 2048, with a 28K-token prompt giving ~53 s TTFT. First boot took ~35 min for one-time expert quantization, later boots ~10 min via persistent cache. Tool calling and per-request thinking toggle work out of the box.

User reports DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp at 80.1 tok/s on count-to-100, 51.8 tok/s on code and 33.2 tok/s on prose, on 2x DGX Spark at TP2. Setup is vLLM with NVFP4 weights and nvfp4_ds_mla KV cache, 1M context, DSpark speculative decoding at k=5, KV pool 2.79M tokens / 19.12 GiB at gpu_memory_utilization 0.85. Without the Patch 4 shared-expert fix the same workloads measure 50.7, 47.2 and 30.4 tok/s. The 0731 text checkpoint reaches 78.4 tok/s peak at 98.9% acceptance with Patch 4, versus 66.1 peak and 60.2% acceptance without. The user notes a ~30% cold-start penalty and that realistic mixed agent traffic at concurrency 4 gives ~88.6 tok/s aggregate and ~22.3 tok/s per stream.

Setup is vLLM with official FP8 weights, 1M context profile, shared ~1.1M-token KV pool; prefill ~1785 t/s. Long-context sweep: 8k 40 t/s, 100k 40 t/s, 200k 38 t/s, 500k 32 t/s decode; prefill ~1970 down to ~1380 t/s.

Setup is vLLM with EXL3 3.0 bpw weights, NVFP4 KV cache, 384k context, DSpark K5 speculative decoding with a K64 draft model, single sequence. The 44-47 tok/s is a range. A 370,104-token stress test achieved exact needle recall with 0 preemptions, prefill ~625 tok/s effective, 594 s end-to-end. KV pool is 439,622 tokens.

User reports a two-node DGX Spark recipe for DeepSeek V4 Flash Vision-Exp under vLLM with TP=2 and DSpark speculative decoding, giving ~62-83 decode tok/s on a single chat through 128K context. Setup is vLLM with NVFP4 weights and nvfp4_ds_mla KV cache, 17.04 GiB KV pool holding 2,331,430 tokens at 0.835 GPU utilization, 1M-token ceiling and 6 concurrent sequences. Six short chats reach ~160-190 tok/s aggregate (~30-37 per stream); a 2026-08-14 run measured 162 aggregate at c=6 and 75 tok/s at 128K single-stream, while a 2026-09-02 run measured 56 tok/s at 256 tokens and 139 aggregate at c=6. A three-Spark TP=3 lane gives ~200 tok/s aggregate at 16 streams with 4-13% faster decode per stream but 4-13% slower prefill to 64K and ~22% slower at 128K-256K. The 315/205 tok/s figures need the Stage-C plus Keys path.

codingagentictool-use

User reports DeepSeek-V4-Flash at ~28 tok/s single-stream decode on one RTX 5090 with dual Xeon Gold 6138 and 256GB DDR4-2400. Setup is stock ktransformers + sglang with int4 AMXINT4 CPU-offloaded experts, NUMA-sharded, top-4 adaptive-k, 8192 context, fp8 KV cache. The 284B-A13B model is 142 GB at 4-bit and does not fit the GPU; experts are computed on the CPU. Re-verified at 27.9-28.0 tok/s steady-state decode. Decode is DDR4-bandwidth-saturated. EAGLE speculative decode (27.2), more GPU experts (27.5), and 80 hyperthreads (2.7) all lost. Coding canary passes 8/8.

User reports DeepSeek V4 Flash 294B Q8KXL at 7.2 t/s generation and 111.09 t/s prompt processing on a 10-GPU server (8x RTX 3090 + 2x RTX 5090, 256GB VRAM). Setup is koboldcpp with llama.cpp under the hood, GGUF weights, all 10 cards allocated with tensor split, clocks locked to 1200 MHz and power limited to 200W per 3090 to prevent transient spikes. The figures are from the first of seven large cybersecurity prompts (2769 input tokens, 813 output tokens); later prompts in the sweep drop to 4.28 t/s generation and 28.38 t/s prompt processing. The user notes the model was the smallest tested but punched above its weight in quality, and that the speed drop versus other models was an acceptable trade-off.

User reports DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 at 4-bit served across two Mac Studio M3 Ultra (512GB) boxes: prefill 1012 tok/s on a 13.9K-token prompt (TTFT 13.7 s), decode 45-47 tok/s single-stream and 112-117 tok/s aggregate at batch 8. Setup is MLX with an oMLX 0.6.3rc2 serving overlay, MTP/speculative machinery enabled, over a single Thunderbolt 5 cable using the jaccl RDMA mesh backend. The decode figure is given only as a range, so no single generationTps is recorded. The repo is a reproducibility playbook; the oMLX 0.6.3rc2 build artifact is no longer available and must be obtained upstream.
