Are those outputs actually from the 671B model? The 671B model needs 8xH200 GPUs at minimum, which is $25/hr to rent. If you didn't pay that much, you were not running R1, but rather Qwen or LLaMA based distillations. We paid that much to rent a machine to run the full 671B model!

Nope, you can run the 671B on 100% CPU and storage. It is going to be longer to get tokens out of it, but it will work.

Heard there are some optimizations for CPU inference on storage, then it should be somewhat a tad "less slow".

Time to split that RAM among your CPU cores and mmap blocks of weights for inference from storage.

Sure but he explicitly stated, 'GPU Servers', making it likely he didn't use the CPU for inferencing, validating the question about what GPU setup did they use
