What inference server are you using? They have a custom branch for llama.cpp, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if it still needs fixing.

This: https://github.com/Blaizzy/mlx-lm/tree/pc/add-lg ...and this is what I should probably wait for (not sure why it's in vlm): https://github.com/Blaizzy/mlx-vlm/tree/pc/laguna-s-nvfp4 ...or perhaps I should've just used the gguf with the provided llama.cpp instead of trying to run the nvfp4-mlx from the get go, but where's the chaos in that :)

Running deepseek flash on something locally now, this will have to wait a bit. I still stand by my initial quick assessment - looks capable. Some people on r/localllama also reported loops. We'll see in ~10 hours. Hopefully I haven't terribly mislead people.
