Project Maya: Local MoE Inference for GLM-5.3, DeepSeek-V4.1 and MiniMax-M3.1

Repositorymw00/project-mayaTool

Project Maya is an open-source inference engine designed to run massive Mixture-of-Experts models privately on local hardware. Using tiered offloading across GPU VRAM, RAM, and NVMe SSDs, it executes architectures up to 748B parameters without cloud dependencies. It provides developers and privacy-focused teams with high-throughput self-hosted AI.

Key points

  1. Supports GLM-5.3-Flash (321B), DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017 (748B), and MiniMax-M3.1-Flash (428B) on premise.
  2. Dynamic memory tiering keeps active experts in VRAM, secondary experts in RAM, and the remainder on NVMe SSD.
  3. Scales from a single GPU to 16 cards on Linux, with experimental support for AMD and Windows.
  4. Includes a built-in server, dashboard, quantization tools, and OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible API endpoints.
  5. Achieves benchmark speeds up to 149 tokens/s across three GPUs and over 30 tokens/s on a single RTX 5090.

Why it matters

It allows engineering teams and enterprises to deploy frontier-scale MoE models fully on-premise, eliminating cloud API costs and ensuring confidential data never leaves private infrastructure.

Analysis

Project Maya, developed by Peasant Smith (@mw00) alongside co-maintainer @needmorevram, tackles the immense hardware barrier of frontier Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models. Running models like DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash (748B), MiniMax-M3.1-Flash (428B), and GLM-5.3-Flash (321B) previously required datacentre-grade clusters. Maya accomplishes local execution on consumer and workstation hardware using intelligent dynamic expert paging. The CUDA-based engine benchmarks the host system's GPU VRAM, CPU, RAM, and NVMe storage bandwidth, dynamically relocating model experts according to conversational attention patterns. Frequently used experts remain in VRAM, intermediate weights stay in system RAM, and dormant parameters stream directly from NVMe drives. Beyond raw inference, the project ships as a complete operational package featuring a self-hosted server, web dashboard, dedicated quantisation tools, and drop-in compatibility for OpenAI and Anthropic API formats supporting concurrent requests. The codebase exhibits solid early maturity under the MIT licence with over 2,000 GitHub stars and verified GGUF weights on HuggingFace. Potential adopters should note that AMD ROCm and Windows compatibility remain experimental, and sustainable throughput still demands top-tier workstation components with rapid storage buses.
