I use the Qwens as a vision model for my DeepSeek V4 Flashes to handle. But the Qwens run on old RTX A6000 Ampere. Does anyone know if there's any news about INT4/AWQ quants for the RTX A6000?

Was recently thinking about doing something similar, do you basically just have the qwens describe what they see for the flashes?

Was considering adding a LoRa/vision head to Flash, but seems like it could take a while to get it right.

If DSv4 Flash was multimodal, I’d probably be done model shopping for a while

Same, with a multimodal DSv4 Flash I would just stop paying attention to things. Very smart, and at 260 tok/s it's too fast to care about anything else. If you ever graft something like that I would love to hear about it.

Yes, I have a very dumb flow. The harness has a describe_image tool that takes an image and a prompt and so DSv4 Flash uses it to get an idea of what it's looking at.

Yeah, I might just replicate what you're doing. Main issue right now is just finding spare vram to actually run another model in parallel... And yeah, if I train up a vision adapter somehow, I'll try to put it up/post about it, seems like we're getting the killer apps for local LLMs right now, where it's just feasible enough if you're enthusiastic enough to be a bit economically irrational, and just useful enough to sort of rationalize.
