# DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash (552B MoE, MXFP4 experts, Engram-on-disk, DCP2) — 4x # DGX Spark. # # DCP2 variant of dsv41-flash-4x-b12x (the 167/176 lane): same config plus # decode context parallelism (4 TP ranks = 2 DCP groups of 2) with Aiden's # a2a all-to-all combine — the production-1.1 overlay ported onto our tree # (docker-images/dsv41-flash-dcp2/, 23-file superset; provenance + triage in # top-level dcp2/README.md). # # A/B target: DSV4.1 quality/speed at DCP2's KV capacity. On Aiden's own # stack DCP2 gave 2.5M-token KV @300K but 158/176 (−9) and slower single- # stream; this variant measures the same trade on our stack. # # Image: dsv41-flash-dcp2:local (docker-images/dsv41-flash-dcp2/ — thin # FROM over dsv41-flash-b12x:local, 23-file DCP2 overlay COPY, verified # symbol-complete at build time). # # Model: deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash (476 GB on the NFS HF cache, # refs/main). The two 203 GB FP8 Engram n-gram tables are NEVER loaded into # HBM — the baked engram.py patch keeps them on disk (DSV41_ENGRAM_DISK=1) # and reads rows on demand. Node-local sparse copies of each rank's rows # (48 GB, engram-local.json) accelerate decode once created (DSV41_ENGRAM_DIR # below, added after the copies exist — first boot reads straight from NFS). # # Config mirrors their boot-10 serving setup (launch/dsv41-tp4.sh) with # local deviations: # CUDA graphs FULL_AND_PIECEWISE + exact DSpark capture sizes (no padded # rows — padded speculative batches hang SM120 sparse MLA, FlashInfer # #5015), DSpark k=5 with the checkpoint's own draft layers, tools + # vision on. # * GMU 0.85 (their 0.80): the indexer prefill buffer grows with max # context (~5.2 GiB at 1M, ~2.6 GiB at 512K); the extra budget keeps # the KV pool at ~11 GiB (≈1.6M tokens) with host headroom. # * 512K ctx (2026-09-11, operator): matches the GLM prod convention # (524288) and stays inside the row width their top-k fix was # validated for (300K measured, 1M-wide never re-run even by them). # The 1.6M-token pool gives 3× headroom at 512K. # * thinking ON + reasoning_effort=max by default (request can override # via chat_template_kwargs), served as "deepseek-v4-flash" (gateway # alias, no config churn). # # Reference: Aiden's write-up of the same stack + their deltas (B12X MoE # backend, explicit KV budget, DCP2 port) — # https://aidenle.com/recipes/deepseek-v4-1-flash-4x-dgx-spark/ # (page says production-1.1 in places; the DCP2-baked image is # production-1.2 — the page was not updated to the end). engine = "vllm" name = "DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash MXFP4 (dsv41 img, 4x, DSpark k=5, Engram-on-disk, DCP2 a2a)" docker_image = "dsv41-flash-dcp2:local" docker_image_dir = "dsv41-flash-dcp2" model = "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash" required_nodes = 4 tensor_parallel_size = 4 pipeline_parallel_size = 1 distributed_backend = "mp" shm_size = "32gb" # NO recipe entrypoint: the base image bakes ENTRYPOINT ["vllm","serve"] # (vllm/vllm-openai), so the launcher's CMD (model + flags) completes it. args = [ # Stable gateway alias — clients/gateways keep the DeepSeek-V4-Flash # model name; no per-deployment config churn.
