Salvatore Sanfilippo, the creator of Redis, has developed a new, highly optimized inference engine called ds4.c specifically for the DeepSeek V4 Flash model. This engine is designed to run efficiently on Apple Silicon Macs, leveraging Metal for GPU acceleration. It features techniques like asymmetric quantization and offloading KV cache to disk to enable local execution of large models, even supporting OpenAI and Anthropic API compatibility for agent integration.
