Common questions about running deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B locally
This model delivers strong local performance when paired with modern GPUs. Use the hardware guidance below to choose the right quantization tier for your build.
Use runtimes like llama.cpp, text-generation-webui, or vLLM. Download the quantized weights from Hugging Face, ensure you have enough VRAM for your target quantization, and launch with GPU acceleration (CUDA/ROCm/Metal).
Start with Q4 for wide GPU compatibility. Upgrade to Q8 if you have spare VRAM and want extra quality. FP16 delivers the highest fidelity but demands workstation or multi-GPU setups.
Official weights are available via Hugging Face. Quantized builds (Q4, Q8) can be loaded into runtimes like llama.cpp, text-generation-webui, or vLLM. Always verify the publisher before downloading.
