DeepSeek-V3.2-AWQ

An AWQ 4-bit quantisation of DeepSeek V3.2, packaged for vLLM inference. AWQ (Activation-aware Weight Quantisation) identifies and preserves the most salient weights at higher precision, typically losing less perplexity than naive 4-bit approaches. This checkpoint lets teams run the large DeepSeek V3.2 on fewer GPUs than the BF16 original while retaining most benchmark performance.

Use cases

  • Deploying DeepSeek V3.2 on GPU clusters with limited per-card VRAM
  • High-throughput vLLM serving with reduced memory budget
  • Cost-efficient inference for long-context enterprise tasks
  • Comparing AWQ quality against GPTQ or GGUF alternatives
  • Serving chat endpoints backed by a frontier-class model at lower hardware cost

Pros

  • AWQ typically outperforms GPTQ at equivalent bit-width in perplexity
  • MIT license on this quantised variant
  • vLLM-native format for high-throughput batching
  • 4-bit reduces VRAM roughly 4x vs BF16

Cons

  • AWQ dequantisation adds per-token overhead; latency increases vs BF16 on fast hardware
  • Cannot be fine-tuned further after AWQ quantisation
  • Community quantisation; no guarantee of bit-for-bit reproducibility with official weights
  • Requires vLLM-compatible GPU; consumer GPUs may hit memory limits even quantised
