Could you build this?
No Running DeepSeek v4.1 (a massive mixture-of-experts model) within 5 GB of RAM at several tokens per second requires state-of-the-art quantization, CPU/disk offloading, and low-level kernel optimizations.
What it would actually take: Requires novel sparse activation loading, speculative decoding, 1-bit or 2-bit quantization kernels (like BitNet/QuIP#), and custom SIMD/Metal/CUDA memory-mapped I/O pipelines. Deep systems expertise in GPU/CPU memory bandwidth architectures and low-bit quantized matrix multiplication is essential.
