DeepSeek-R1 — which GPUs fit

DeepSeek · 684.5B (active 37B) · MoE · ctx 128K · MIT · HuggingFace

DeepSeek-R1 (DeepSeek) is a 684.5B parameters MoE (37B active per token) open-weight model tracked on AI Hashrate. At 8K context we estimate roughly 384.88 GB VRAM for Q4 (weights 376.48 GB + KV 7.4 GB + 1 GB overhead) and 1377.4 GB for FP16. About 0 GPUs/accelerators in our catalog fully fit this model at Q4 under that context assumption. Fastest Q4 configs: B200 192GB SXM ≈ 97.8 tok/s (estimated); MI300X 192GB ≈ 64.8 tok/s (estimated); H200 141GB SXM5 ≈ 31.7 tok/s (estimated). Use the table below for VRAM fit and tok/s per dollar (list MSRP). Estimates follow memory-bandwidth math; measured rows override when present. See methodology for details. Methodology.
