Summary

The article highlights the impressive performance of DeepSeek V4 Flash with Antirez Dwarfstar 4 on a high-RAM Mac, noting its superiority over other AI models and the reduced need for larger systems.

Note: I use a Mac Studio M3U with 512 GB RAM, so this is not for everyone. I have been using antirez/ds4 with DS4 Flash for a few weeks now. Top quality, I am really impressed. This combination just delivers. It is incomparable to Qwen 3.6 27B or GLM 5.2 (which I can only run heavily quantized at Q3). But no need to rely on Sol or Opus anymore to solve difficult problems. On average, I get 35 tok/sec. But requires 390 GB of RAM for full quality... If you have a Mac with at least 256 GB, you should try this. Big thanks to antirez for this amazing framework!
