Where did the BF16 come from?
As far as I'm aware, the original model was trained in FP8. You have a BF16 version here - where did the extra half of the model come from?
Maybe the additional bits are zero in the BF16 representation?

Maybe! Wouldn't that be crazy, though?

We converted it to BF16 using Deepseek's instructions. You can read more about our process in our blogpost: https://unsloth.ai/blog/deepseekr1-dynamic
Also we uploaded the bf16 version here: https://huggingface.co/unsloth/DeepSeek-R1-BF16

I couldn't find any mention of BF16 on that page. Which instructions are you referring to? And can you clarify - is the second 671GB just empty space? What's the rationale there?

Oh sorru wrong blog, it should be this one Fp16: https://unsloth.ai/blog/deepseek-r1

Thanks. Which instructions are you referring to? And can you clarify - is the second 671GB just empty space? And at what point did the conversion from FP16 to BF16 take place?
I don't see anything on the blog about BF16. Can anyone give a straight answer: what is BF16 good for, and who can/should run it?

BF16 is intended for older GPUs like the V100 and A100 that lack FP8 support. If your GPU supports FP8, such as those based on the Hopper architecture, use the original FP8 version instead.
