DeepSeek-V3-0324 released, 641GB, MIT licensed, >20tok/SEC on $<10k hardware (opens in new tab)

The headline seems to imply that the full 641GB model is running at >20tok/sec on the Mac Studio, but the blog says:

>The model only came out a few hours ago and MLX developer Awni Hannun already has it running at >20 tokens/second on a 512GB M3 Ultra Mac Studio ($9,499 of ostensibly consumer-grade hardware) via mlx-lm and this mlx-community/DeepSeek-V3-0324-4bit 4bit quantization, which reduces the on-disk size to 352 GB.
