NVIDIA Watch posted an update
MiaAIlab reports that NVIDIA has released an official NVFP4 build of DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, linking to the weights and promising tests to come. The account has spent the week serving DeepSeek models on clusters of DGX Spark machines, so this flag comes from somebody deep in the local-serving game.
Why it mattersNVFP4 is NVIDIA's four-bit floating point format, built to fit large models into a fraction of the memory and serve them briskly on RTX-class hardware. An official build gives community quants a baseline to be measured against. The post offers no measurement: no benchmark, no test conditions, only a plan to pit the release against native weights and the account's own EXL3 quant. Until those numbers land, the release is MiaAIlab's report and its quality is open.
Discuss: Does an official NVFP4 build from the hardware maker become the default download for DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, or will tuned community quants like EXL3 keep winning at the same memory footprint?
