Model fit

Why this setup does or does not fit

VRAM floor

8x 80GB+ GPUs

8x 80GB GPUs or larger, plus fast interconnects. Long prompts, batching, and KV cache can require extra headroom.

Model quality

Frontier, cluster-only

Potentially exceptional reasoning quality, but this is an engineering program more than a plug-in model choice.

Operational note

DeepSeek 671B

This is no longer a single-box deployment problem; networking, scheduling, and batching dominate.
