Unsloth fits DeepSeek's 552B model into a 250GB local download

Unsloth AI published a 1-bit GGUF version of DeepSeek's V4.1-Flash-1017 on October 19th that runs locally on systems with at least 128GB of memory, with its smallest build listed at 250.4GB versus 508.4GB for the 8-bit version. Unsloth's 88.2% figure measures token agreement on one test set rather than general benchmark accuracy, and the 250GB download plus 128GB-plus memory requirement confine local use to high-end systems.
