DeepSeek-V4 Latent Reasoning – moving "thinking" into latent space

DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731-Latent-Reasoning. A self-contained model that does thinking in latent space, NVFP4-quantized, with a production vllm form for serving runtime. https://huggingface.co/nmitchko/De

In plain words

DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731-Latent-Reasoning is an open-source language model that performs reasoning internally within latent space rather than exposing thinking tokens in outputs. Built on the DeepSeek-V4-Flash backbone and quantized in NVFP4 format, it is designed for developers and researchers who need efficient inference. The model comes production-ready with a vLLM serving implementation, enabling real-time deployment without separate thinking token processing.

DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731-Latent-Reasoning. A self-contained model that does thinking in latent space, NVFP4-quantized, with a production vllm form for serving runtime. https://huggingface.co/nmitchko/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731-Latent-Reasoning The goal of this model is to employ latent thinking in an open source model. The idea is to compress thinking tokens and keep them within latent forms not in the output emission. The DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 backbone . Roughly 79 GiB of weights per GPU at TP=2 (158–164 GiB total). The DSpark draft block (3 layers), preserved from the source. The trained latent reasoning head . 35.7M params, loaded from a single latent_reasoning_head.safetensors (~152 MB). BBH…from blog.n.ichol.ai

  • Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes&#x2F;sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
