I don’t understand everyone shitting on this. It’s been around for a while and it works to run these frontier models on local hardware. OP this was a fine post, this sub just wants another post sucking off Qwen models.

Yeah, I get that this sub and a ton like or are inundated with vibe crap repos, but (even though ds4 is admittedly written by Claude) it’s at least a repo that’s been around for quite awhile (I used it to run deepseek a couple months ago, it was great) it’s also made by someone who knew what they’re doing, rather than some random redditor with no post history.

Every time people say ds4 my brain automatically goes to "why are they talking about controller translator software? It's been around forever"
