The integration of foundation and fine-tuned models into AI systems requires additional testing using use-case-specific data to ensure safe and effective deployment. Following the V-model methodology, iterative testing and validation at both unit and system levels are essential to mitigate risks, meet technical and functional requirements, and ensure compliance with safety and ethical standards before deployment.

Post Training Quantization

This model was obtained by quantizing the weights and activations of DeepSeek-V4-Pro to NVFP4 data type, ready for inference with SGLang and vLLM. Only the weights and activations of the linear operators within transformer blocks in MoE are quantized.

Usage

Deploy with vLLM

Requires vLLM PR #42209:

python -m vllm.entrypoints.cli.main serve \
    nvidia/DeepSeek-V4-Pro-NVFP4 \
    --tensor-parallel-size 8 \
    --trust-remote-code \
    --kv-cache-dtype fp8 \
    --served-model-name nvfp4

Deploy with SGLang

Requires SGLang PR #25820. The integration auto-detects NVFP4 from the checkpoint's hf_quant_config.json (weights are stored in FP8 with "moe_quant_algo": "NVFP4"):

python3 -m sglang.launch_server --model nvidia/DeepSeek-V4-Pro-NVFP4 --tensor-parallel-size 8 --trust-remote-code

Evaluation

The accuracy benchmark results are presented in the table below:

Precision	GPQA Diamond	AA-LCR	τ²-Bench Telecom	SciCode	IFBench
FP8 (AA Ref)	89.00	66.00	96.00	50.00	76.00
FP8 (Ours)	89.49	66.89	94.25	51.08	77.82
NVFP4	89.33	66.33	94.83	53.45	77.21

Model Limitations:

The base model was trained on data that contains toxic language and societal biases originally crawled from the internet. Therefore, the model may amplify those biases and return toxic responses especially when prompted with toxic prompts. The model may generate answers that may be inaccurate, omit key information, or include irrelevant or redundant text producing socially unacceptable or undesirable text, even if the prompt itself does not include anything explicitly offensive.
