About this tag
The llama modchip tag on WindowsForum.com follows discussion of llama-modchip, a developer project that claims to run the DeepSeek-V4-Flash 284-billion-parameter model on a desktop with 64GB of RAM and no GPU. Coverage centers on the project's own GitHub README at v2.4.0, which describes running the model in under 59 GiB of RAM at 256K context on a pure CPU. Threads examine the caveats around memory headroom, custom runtimes, and which speed figures apply, and note that no independent reproduction of the exact result was found. It is relevant to readers interested in local AI inference on Windows hardware without dedicated graphics.

The claim comes with caveats about memory headroom, custom runtimes and which speed number you are looking at. The project is called llama-modchip. Its GitHub README, now...
