Which DeepSeek model can my PC run, and how do I install it?
Only the distilled DeepSeek-R1 models fit a home PC: the 8B on an 8GB card, the 14B on 12 to 16GB, the 32B on 24GB, the 70B on 48GB. DeepSeek's newest V4 models are 284B to 1.6T parameters, and the DeepSeek models Ollama lists as cloud-only don't run on your machine. Install steps, sizes and the one setting that trips up 24GB cards, checked Nov 3, 2026.
