Best Single GPU to Beat the 6x Mac Mini M4 Pro Cluster

To "beat" your 6-node Mac Mini M4 Pro cluster (384GB total unified memory, ~4 tokens/second for 4-bit quantized DeepSeek-V3 671B inference, based on scaling from 8-node benchmarks), we're targeting a single GPU that delivers higher inference speed (e.g., >4 t/s for the full 671B model) while keeping costs reasonable for a local setup. DeepSeek-V3's MoE architecture (only 37B active params/token) helps, but the model's ~386GB 4-bit footprint means no consumer GPU can load it fully in VRAM alone—you'll need CPU offloading (e.g., via llama.cpp or vLLM with 128GB+ system RAM). This hybrid approach is common and works well for interactive use.

The NVIDIA RTX 4090 (24GB VRAM) is the clear winner as the best single GPU alternative. It outperforms the cluster in raw speed for DeepSeek-V3 (5-15 t/s with optimizations, vs. your 4 t/s), costs far less ($1,600 vs. $12-15K for the cluster), and draws less power (~450W peak vs. ~300-400W total for 6 Min

Cloudflare Tunnel → EC2 (Amazon Linux) — Step‑by‑Step

Goal: expose two hostnames via Cloudflare Tunnel that route to services running on a single EC2 instance:

• <SUBDOMAIN 1>.<YOUR DOMAIN NAME>.com → http://localhost:80 (Python website)
• <SUBDOMAIN 2>.<YOUR DOMAIN NAME>.com → http://localhost:3000 (Express API)

This guide is concise and written for Amazon Linux (YUM/RPM). Commands assume you run them as ec2-user with sudo where necessary.

Method: Application Load Balancer + AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) with the default EC2 DNS name

AWS lets you issue a real ACM certificate for the exact string *.compute-1.amazonaws.com and for your specific instance DNS name. It’s public and trusted by all browsers.

Step-by-step

1. Open ACM in us-east-1 (N. Virginia) — this is mandatory
   https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/acm/home

2. Request a public certificate → click “Request”

Roman to Integer Conversion Flow

This document explains the romanToInt function, which converts a Roman numeral string to its integer equivalent. The function is implemented in JavaScript and handles standard Roman numeral rules, including subtractive cases (e.g., IV = 4). Below, we provide a Mermaid flowchart to visualize the algorithm's flow and a step-by-step example for the input "XIV".

Function Overview

The romanToInt function takes a string s of Roman numerals and returns the corresponding integer. It uses a dictionary to map Roman symbols to their values and processes the string from left to right, handling subtractive cases by checking if the next symbol has a greater value.

Diagrams for "MCMXCIV"

This document illustrates the execution of three solutions for the "Roman to Integer" problem (LeetCode 13) using the valid Roman numeral string "MCMXCIV" (1994). The solutions are:

• First Pass: Naive addition of each symbol’s value.
• Second Pass: Compare adjacent symbols to handle subtractive cases.
• Final Solution: Single-pass addition with correction for subtractive cases.

Each solution is visualized with a Mermaid sequence diagram showing the step-by-step processing of "MCMXCIV". A flowchart for the Final Solution’s logic is also included, with notes on how it differs for the other solutions.
