Frontier AI On Your Laptop.

Short summary

DS-4 (Dwarf Star 4) is an open-source quantization technique that enables frontier models like DeepSeek V4 Flash to run locally on consumer hardware with 128GB unified memory. The tutorial covers why standard quantization fails, selective compression with calibration, and SSD streaming to eliminate RAM cliffs. Includes working implementation, blog post, and benchmarks—relevant for builders and researchers exploring local inference.
