Dwarf Star Support for DeepSeek 4.1 Flash on MBPro 128GB

Salvatore Sanfilippo, known as Antirez, committed support for a heavily quantized variant of DeepSeek V4.1 Flash to the GitHub repository for DwarfStar, according to a Hacker News post by user fghorow. The post states the model runs with SSD streaming on a MacBook Pro M5-Max with 128 GB of memory, and notes the code was checked in hours before the post, so results may vary.

He claims it runs with SSD streaming on a macbook pro M5-Max 128 GB laptop. The code was just checked in literally hours ago, so take YMMV quite literally.
