This model was obtained by quantizing the weights of deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3-0324 to INT4 data type. This optimization reduces the number of bits per parameter from 8 to 4, reducing the disk size and GPU memory requirements by approximately 50%.

Only non-shared experts within transformer blocks are compressed. Weights are quantized using a symmetric per-group scheme, with group size 128. The GPTQ algorithm is applied for quantization.

Model checkpoint is saved in compressed_tensors format.
