I love the original DeepSeek model, but the distilled versions are too dumb usually. I'm excited to try my own queries on it.

Apart from being dumber, they also don't know as much as R1. I can see how fine-tuning can improve reasoning capability (by showing examples of good CoT) but there's no reason that would improve the knowledge of facts (relative to the Qwen or Llama model on which the finetuning was based).(I've been using the 32B and while it could always be better, I'm not unhappy with it)
Using LM Studio, trying to load the model throws an error of "insufficient system resources."
I disabled this error, set the context length to 1024 and was able to get 0.24 tokens per second. Comparatively, the 32B distill model gets about 20 tokens per second.
And it became incredibly flaky, using up all available ram, and crashing the whole system a few times.
While the M4 Max 128GB handles the 32B well, it seems to choke on this. Here's to hoping someone works on something in-between (or works out what the ideal settings are because nothing I fiddled with helped much).
In theory half of the model fits to RAM, so it should be GPU limited if memory management is smart.
