Q8 yes 195k 38.8-47.2 t/s ~0.4-0.5 (slow)

Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.

FAQ

Can the Huawei Ascend 950DT run DeepSeek LLM 67B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~69.3-84.2 tok/s and fits up to 285k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~0.7-0.8 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 285k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
