DeepSeek-4 Flash gets local inference engine for Apple Silicon
Developer antirez has created ds4, an inference engine optimized to run DeepSeek-4 Flash locally on Mac with Metal acceleration. This makes it possible to run the model directly on the user's machine without cloud solutions.
WHY IT MATTERS
Local inference lowers barriers to using advanced language models and makes it practical to run powerful models offline. This matters for privacy, latency, and makes heavy AI tools accessible to more people.
