DeepSeek-R1-Q4_K_M

Distributed GGUF inference package for Mesh LLM

GGUF layer package for running DeepSeek-R1-Q4_K_M across a local Mesh LLM cluster.

This package is derived from unsloth/DeepSeek-R1-GGUF and keeps the original GGUF distribution split into per-layer artifacts for distributed inference.

Highlights

Run locally	Pool multiple machines	OpenAI-compatible	Package variant
Private inference on your hardware	Split layers across peers	Serve `/v1/chat/completions` locally	`Q4_K_M` layer package

Recommended Use

Local and private inference with Mesh LLM.
Multi-machine serving when the full GGUF is too large for one host.
OpenAI-compatible chat/completions workflows through Mesh LLM's local API.
