Question 1

How much VRAM does DeepSeek-Prover-V2-671B need?

Accepted Answer

DeepSeek-Prover-V2-671B (671B) requires approximately 86.20861129760742 GB of VRAM at full precision (FP16), 43.1 GB at 8-bit quantization (Q8), and 21.6 GB at 4-bit quantization (Q4). The actual VRAM usage may be slightly higher due to KV cache and runtime overhead.

Question 2

What GPUs can run DeepSeek-Prover-V2-671B?

Accepted Answer

We have 10 compatible GPUs indexed for DeepSeek-Prover-V2-671B, including H100 NVL, RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell, MI300X, GH200, H200 SXM and 5 more. Compatibility is determined by whether the GPU's VRAM can fit the model's memory footprint, potentially using quantization to reduce memory usage.

Question 3

What is the cheapest GPU to run DeepSeek-Prover-V2-671B?

Accepted Answer

The cheapest GPU to run DeepSeek-Prover-V2-671B in the cloud is the H100 NVL at $1.80/hr. Other affordable options include RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell ($1.89/hr) and MI300X ($1.99/hr). Prices reflect the lowest on-demand rate across cloud providers.

Question 4

Can DeepSeek-Prover-V2-671B run on consumer hardware?

Accepted Answer

Yes, DeepSeek-Prover-V2-671B can run on consumer GPUs like the RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell (96 GB VRAM) at full precision (FP16).

Question 5

What quantization options are available for DeepSeek-Prover-V2-671B?

Accepted Answer

DeepSeek-Prover-V2-671B supports the following quantization levels: FP16 (full precision): ~86.20861129760742 GB, Q8 (8-bit): ~43.1 GB, Q6 (6-bit): ~32.3 GB, Q4 (4-bit): ~21.6 GB. Lower quantization reduces VRAM usage at the cost of some quality loss. Q8 offers a good balance between quality and memory savings, while Q4 provides maximum compression. As a Mixture of Experts (MoE) model with 256 experts (8 active), DeepSeek-Prover-V2-671B has a larger total weight size but only activates a subset of parameters per token, which can affect effective memory usage during inference.
