Sized to run DeepSeek-V3.2 as cheaply as honestly possible — exactly enough memory, nothing wasted.
The memory math, shown:
671B params × 1 GB = 671 GB
+ 20% working roomiExtra memory on top of the raw model weights, reserved for what a model needs while actually generating text — things like the KV cache and activation buffers. Real deployments almost never fit with zero headroom.
= 805.2 GB required
