Unsloth AI 29.4k

My config is dual RTX3090 and 64GB DDR4 + 78GB Swap. (model is DeepSeek-V4-Flash-UD-Q8_K_XL.)
Speed: ~1.78 TPS

And for a single question:
What model are you?
Response:
I'm Claude, an AI assistant made by Anthropic. I don't have a specific version number visible in my current configuration.

Speed:
Prompt Processing: ~29.8 tokens/sec (Fast because GPUs handle the prefill phase).
Generation Speed: ~1.78 tokens/sec (No swap used only GPU/RAM).

The llama.cpp server script -with swap create- :

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Serve unsloth/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731-GGUF (UD-Q8_K_XL) with llama.cpp  and create self-contained swap create/teardown.
