DeepSeek-Coder-V2-Lite-Instruct

Name: DeepSeek-Coder-V2-Lite-Instruct
Author: deepseek-ai

We present DeepSeek-Coder-V2, an open-source Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) code language model that achieves performance comparable to GPT4-Turbo in code-specific tasks. Specifically, DeepSeek-Coder-V2 is further pre-trained from an intermediate checkpoint of DeepSeek-V2 with additional 6 trillion tokens. Through this continued pre-training, DeepSeek-Coder-V2 substantially enhances the coding and mathematical reasoning ca...

Can you run it?

Estimated VRAM at 8K context unless noted. Pick your hardware to see the verdict per quantization.

File	Quant	Size	Est. VRAM	Verdict on RTX 4090 · 24 GB
model.safetensors	bf16	31.4 GB	37.4 GB	❌ Won’t fit
model.safetensors (bf16, full)	bf16 + 160K ctx	31.4 GB	82.2 GB	❌ Won’t fit

Estimate: file size × 1.1 + KV cache at 8K + 0.5 GB overhead. Not a benchmark — how we calculate this.
