Frequently asked questions

Can DeepSeek Coder V2 236B (MoE) run on AMD MI325X 288GB?

Yes. DeepSeek Coder V2 236B (MoE) at AWQ 4-bit needs 142.4 GB including the KV cache, and AMD MI325X 288GB has 288 GB — so it fits on a single GPU.

How fast is DeepSeek Coder V2 236B (MoE) on AMD MI325X 288GB?

297.1 tokens/sec per stream and 3566 tok/s aggregate with continuous batching at 8 concurrent users. Time to first token is 559.9 ms, and inter-token latency is 3.4 ms.

What does DeepSeek Coder V2 236B (MoE) on AMD MI325X 288GB cost per million tokens?

$0.2727 per 1M output tokens at 1× AMD MI325X 288GB ($3.50/hr). That is the marginal hardware cost — add idle capacity, ops, and egress for the real figure.

How much VRAM does DeepSeek Coder V2 236B (MoE) need on AMD MI325X 288GB?

129.8 GB for the weights at AWQ 4-bit, plus 12.6 GB of KV cache for 8 concurrent requests at 8K context — 142.4 GB total. Every extra concurrent user at long context costs more, so leave headroom.

Is AMD MI325X 288GB the right choice for DeepSeek Coder V2 236B (MoE)?

It works. Compare $0.2727 per 1M tokens against the alternatives below — the cheapest option that fits the same workload is 8× RTX 5090 32GB at $0.0192, and the fastest is 4× Cerebras CS-3 (WSE-3) at 161646 tok/s.
