About the project

Tool for running large MoE models (DeepSeek-V4-Flash 284B, Nemotron-30B) on pure CPU with 64 GB RAM and no GPU, using a custom Fractal-64 compression format and speculative decoding.

Useful for
  • Run DeepSeek-V4-Flash 284B locally on 64 GB RAM without a GPU
  • Wire Claude Code CLI to a local model via ./modchip claude
  • Run ./modchip bench to measure tok/s and compare your CPU

6.7 Early signal Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of November 9, 2026, 01:38 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

0250500October 29, 2026November 9, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-09 (UTC), 00:02–01:28: 471 → 496 stars (+25). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +403 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • Over the last two days the pace is 45× that of the previous 9 days.
  • The repository is 11 days old and already has 496 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • Hacker News: “Llama-modchip: 284B DeepSeek on 64GB RAM, no GPU” — 361 points, 15 h ago.
  • About 11 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 429.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
