DeepSeek V4 Flash on the NVIDIA RTX Spark N1X 128GB (laptop)

DeepSeek V4 Flash is a 304.18B-parameter mixture-of-experts model (13B active per token). At UD-IQ3_S it needs about 116.8 GB of memory. The NVIDIA RTX Spark N1X 128GB (laptop) has 119 GB usable, so it fits entirely in memory. Expect about 26 tokens/sec (13–40), with the first token after 0.3 s for a short prompt. This estimate is interpolated from benchmarks of similar setups.
