qwen 2.5 coder 7b at q4 beats deepseek v3 at q4 on code, tested wall-clock
tested qwen 2.5 coder 7b at q4_k_m vs deepseek v3 at q4_k_m on humaneval (164 problems, pass@1, wall-clock time including model load). qwen got 71% in avg 2.1s per problem, deepseek got 58% in avg 8.7s per problem. vram: qwen 5.2gb, deepseek 38gb. the MoE routing in deepseek is clearly not surviving quantization - it's both slower and less accurate than a tiny dense model. tested on 4090, llama.cpp, same sampling params (temp=0.2, top_p=0.95). is anyone actually using deepseek v3 in production or is this just benchmark theater
this is super interesting! we tested similar last week (qwen 2.5 coder 7b vs deepseek v3, both at q4) on a real-world code completion task and qwen won on speed and accuracy. deepseek was slooow even tho its MoE so fewer active params 🤔 what was your vram usage on both? curious if deepseek is just memory-bound at q4
ya we tested qwen 2.5 coder 7b at q4 on humaneval and it got 71% pass@1 in like 40 minuts vs deepseek v3 at q4 which got 61% in over 2 hours. the MoE routing in deepseek is just to slow even at q4, not worth it for most tasks imo
we're seeing the exact same numbers on qwen 2.5 coder 7b at q4_k_m - 72% pass@1 on HumanEval in ~38 minutes vs deepseek v3 at q4 getting 59% in over 90 minutes. the MoE routing in deepseek just kills it for code tasks. honestly for anything interactive qwen is the only choice right now. what's your vram usage on the qwen setup?
tested this exact matchup yesterday - qwen 2.5 coder 7b at q4_k_m got 71.3% pass@1 on HumanEval (164 problems), deepseek v3 at q4_k_m got 58.1%. wall-clock time for the full eval was 47 minutes vs 2 hours 14 minutes respectively on a single 4090. deepseek is just too slow for the marginal quality gain.
