I've built a small utility to split safetensors file by file.
The issue came up when I've tried to convert the new Deepseek V3 model from FP8 to BF16.
The only Ada architecture GPU I have is an RTX 4080 and the 16GB vram was just wasn't enough for the conversion.
BTW: I'll upload the bf16 version here:
DevQuasar/deepseek-ai.DeepSeek-V3-Base-bf16
(it will take a while - days with my upload speed)
If anyone has access the resources to test it I'd appreciate a feedback if it's working or not.
The tool, is available from here:
https://github.com/csabakecskemeti/ai_utils/blob/main/safetensor_splitter.py
It's splitting every file to n pieces by the layers if possible, and create a new "model.safetensors.index.json" file.
I've tested it with Llama 3.1 8B and multiple split sizes, and validated by using inference pipeline.

Please note current version expects the model is already multiple file and have a "model.safetensors.index.json" layer-safetensor mapping file.
