Can DeepSeek V3.1 (671B MoE) run locally?

DeepSeek V3.1 (671B MoE) has a catalogue minimum of 512 GB RAM with Q4_K_M. Actual memory use and speed vary by context length, runtime, backend and system headroom.

Treat deepseek-v3.1 as a server-grade catalogue target. Use the verified artefact with a compatible multi-GPU or distributed runtime and follow its upstream instructions; this is not a one-click desktop LM Studio recommendation.

Deployment path

01
Check RAM fitServer-grade target. Plan for 512 GB class multi-GPU memory.
02
Load the modelUse deepseek-v3.1 only with a compatible server-grade or distributed runtime; confirm the exact artefact and upstream instructions first.
03
Control locallyUse LocalClaw to manage models, agents, chat, channels and scheduled OpenClaw work.
