The integration of foundation and fine-tuned models into AI systems requires additional testing using use-case-specific data to ensure safe and effective deployment. Following the V-model methodology, iterative testing and validation at both unit and system levels are essential to mitigate risks, meet technical and functional requirements, and ensure compliance with safety and ethical standards before deployment.

https://huggingface.co/nvidia/DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813-NVFP4#post-training-quantizationPost Training Quantization
This model was obtained by quantizing the weights and activations of DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813 to NVFP4 data type, ready for inference withSGLang. Only the weights and activations of the linear operators within transformer blocks in MoE are quantized. DeepSeek’s DSpark speculative-decoding heads are carried through unquantized and unmodified.
https://huggingface.co/nvidia/DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813-NVFP4#quantization-recipeQuantization Recipe
The recipe is in the Model Optimizer repository underexamples/deepseek/deepseek\_v4(ptq\.py,quantize\_to\_nvfp4\.py). It runs in three stages:
1. Reshard the source checkpoint to the model-parallel layout(CPU only), using DeepSeek’s ownconvert\.py:
python convert.py \
--hf-ckpt-path <DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813> \
--save-path <mp8_checkpoint> \
--n-experts 384 \
--model-parallel 8 \
--expert-dtype fp4
2. Collect activation ranges (amax) on the routed experts:
torchrun --nproc-per-node 8 deepseek_v4/ptq.py \
--model_path <mp8_checkpoint> \
--config <DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813>/inference/config.json \
--calib_size 512 \
--calib_seq 4096 \
--output_path <amax_dump>
Calibration uses the script’s default datasets —cnn\_dailymailandNemotron\-Post\-Training\-Dataset\-v2— at 512 samples each (1024 total).\-\-calib\_seq 4096sets the tokenizer truncation cap; it is the setting that mattered most for this model, since the default of 512 does not cover long-context activation ranges.
The command above usesptq\.py’s built-in quantization config. The same config also ships as a declarative recipe, selectable with\-\-recipe:
torchrun --nproc-per-node 8 deepseek_v4/ptq.py \
--recipe huggingface/models/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813/ptq/nvfp4_experts_only \
...
Therecipe YAMLis pinned by a test to match the built-in default, so either path yields the same quantizer configuration.
3. Export the NVFP4 checkpoint:
python deepseek_v4/quantize_to_nvfp4.py \
--amax_path <amax_dump> \
--source_ckpt <DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813> \
--output_ckpt <output> \
--cast_mxfp4_to_nvfp4 \
--device cuda
\-\-cast\_mxfp4\_to\_nvfp4matters for this model in particular. DeepSeek-V4 already ships its routed experts inMXFP4(E2M1 nibbles with one E8M0 scale per 32 elements). NVFP4 reuses the same E2M1 nibble grid but stores an E4M3 scale per 16 elements, so the weight bits are carried over unchanged — a lossless bit-cast — and only the block scales are rewritten. The activation amax from stage 2 is therefore the only calibrated quantity that survives into the artifact, and the checkpoint is slightlylargerthan its source (scale bytes double while weight bytes stay the same).

The base DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813 checkpoint includes DSpark and those heads are preserved here, but speculative decoding was not exercised during this release’s validation — enable it only after verifying it for this NVFP4 checkpoint.

Both checkpoints are mixed precision and share the same FP8 attention and shared-expert projections, BF16 norms and embeddings; only the routed-expert format differs (MXFP4 → NVFP4). All scores measured on SGLang attemperature 1\.0,top\_p 1\.0, max reasoning effort. GPQA Diamond, SciCode, τ²-Bench Telecom and Terminal-Bench Hard are single-run; IFBench is pooled over 4 runs per side; AA-LCR is the matched-configuration pair (2 runs per side).
https://huggingface.co/nvidia/DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813-NVFP4#model-limitationsModel Limitations:
The base model was trained on data that contains toxic language and societal biases originally crawled from the internet. Therefore, the model may amplify those biases and return toxic responses especially when prompted with toxic prompts. The model may generate answers that may be inaccurate, omit key information, or include irrelevant or redundant text producing socially unacceptable or undesirable text, even if the prompt itself does not include anything explicitly offensive.
