What runs DeepSeek R1 671B
Estimated speed on each card at the smallest memory size that fits it, from memory bandwidth. As a mixture-of-experts model it reads only part of its weights per token, so it runs much faster than its size suggests.
No single card or Mac we track fits it. It needs a multi-GPU rig; see the builds.
