DeepSeek R1 671B needs ~479.4 GB but NVIDIA GH200 96GB only has 96.0 GB. Try a smaller quantization or lighter model.
Operating mode
Interactive favors responsiveness, while light API and scale-out lean harder on serving readiness. The fit stays the same, but the recommendation lens changes.
Current mode
Balanced
Balanced for general local use. Keeps the ranking neutral across personal and serving workflows.

Usable VRAM is the main blocker for this model.
Not enough usable memory
The model needs 479.4 GB, but this setup only exposes 96.0 GB of usable VRAM.
Add more VRAM headroom
The first useful upgrade is more dedicated VRAM so you can fit the model without shrinking context or dropping to a much lower quant.
