 # DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B-NexaQuant

+## Background + Overview 
+DeepSeek-R1 has been making headlines for rivaling OpenAI’s O1 reasoning model while remaining fully open-source. Many users want to run it locally to ensure data privacy, reduce latency, and maintain offline access. However, fitting such a large model onto personal devices typically requires quantization (e.g. Q4_K_M), which often sacrifices accuracy (up to ~22% accuracy loss) and undermines the benefits of the local reasoning model.
+
+We’ve solved the trade-off by quantizing the DeepSeek R1 Distilled model to one-fourth its original size—without losing any accuracy. This lets you run powerful on-device reasoning wherever you are, with no compromises. Tests on an **HP Omnibook AIPC** with an **AMD Ryzen™ AI 9 HX 370 processor** showed a decoding speed of **66.40 tokens per second** and a peak RAM usage of just **1228 MB** in NexaQuant version—compared to only **25.28 tokens** per second and **3788 MB RAM** in the unquantized version—while **maintaining full precision model accuracy.**
