2x context size seems to be roughly 4x TTFT.

If you use prompt caching what is the impact on TTFT as the context increases?

22

Question: is there a way to use this with 500k context but without fp8 kv cache?

23

I am for sure not an expert but DeepSeek V4 Flash uses a native compressed attention scheme. I do not force it into any kv cache type and I get 1M context and it has been very accurate. By far the best model I have used locally. I would perhaps try it as is with a 1M context and see how it performs for your use case. You may be able to force a different cache format but I suspect there will be issues doing that. There is a paper out there on how this model works and some articles you can read about it. I am not sure what moving to a larger bit depth cache will do ultimately.

24

I am pretty shocked tbh that this runs so well on two DGX Sparks. Just insane.

My post at the topic start literally shows perf with prefix caching, itโ€™s in the recipe

27

Iโ€™ve got this running as per the first post in this thread. Iโ€™m impressed.

Are we to expect a lot of improvements once the PRโ€™s in action on this build make it into vLLM proper (not just for this model, but for other models)?

Any idea when that might happen - Iโ€™d love to see this working out of the box with the community docker.

28

Per my post a few days ago thereโ€™s no indication that any of this is going to hit vllm main anytime soon unfortunately

29

Yes, but was it a warm or cold cache per run?

30

Warm. But the test itself not reuse prefix cache as it fills new data. Today I hit a record, 95% prefix cache reuse, 6 seqs, 115-130 tg tps. 115 was top but usually vllm metric show less than it is due to how it counts time to Gen tokens

31

Practical use. Beautiful. 500k context, previx cache hit 94%, 40-45 tok/s generation , barely any delay. Disregard output/reasoning token count - known bug in OpenCode. All goes into input tokens count = context used.

No compression needed! Model is crafting C# code, extracting obfuscated methods/parameters from DLLs. I would grade ts ABOVE Sonnet 4.6. I havenโ€™t escalated to a cloud once. No need. Zero loops or nonsense. BTW vllm has been running non-stop for 3 days, many different sessions. Stable!

32

Which dimension would need to scaled down so this would work on a single Spark?

33

Its fp4/fp8 quant from Deepseek. The only thing that works on a single Spark (I tested before I got a cable to build a cluster) is Q2xxs GGUF with ds4 server (dasrkstar4) - custom inference engine for deepseek 4 flash specifically. It was quite okay, but very slow (7 t/s) and very little room for context. There is thread here in forum somewhere. Avialble on github. Straightforward setup as per readme.

PS honestly I would never bother. Qwenm 3.5 122b is absolutely comparable in terms of congnition and tool use, ToolBench extra hard ranks it at 91-92 while this deepseek is 89. And it runs at 35 t/s on a single spark with 2M tokens cache. Session can be reliably stretched to 500k with YaRN but it slows down to 20 ts and lower after 256k native window. I have posted my recipe here on forum. I suggest using that.

34

Are you not having issues with the kv cache usage slowly creeping up to 99% at which point the throughput slows to a crawl? I even applied the PR mentioned in the other thread and it didnโ€™t make a difference for me.

35

How does this compare to full weights

At what context window it happens for you?

I was able todownload using hf-download.sh .. it copied both nodes and i can see the model

37

What do you mean compared to full weights?

Iโ€™m running with 400k context but rarely go above 200k in opencode before either compacting or doing /new, and vllm still fills the kv cache to 99% after some hours of use

38

Yeah, saw it later on yesterday. I have like 6m cache allocated so it lasted days before I hit it and had to restart cluster. I guess cache eviction is still not working properly. But, if I can get away with a daily reboot itโ€™s not a deal breaker for me personally.

I use 1m cache window but my use case is that I work with a large but mostly same document and codebade, meaning once cache is prefixes it stays and creep after that is very slow. If you jump between projects with totally different context you surely can hit a wall lot faster

39

Just ask your agent to help, looks like recipe was not setup properly
