You’re most likely confusing the real deepseek with a distilled version. Unless you have more than 192Gb of RAM.

Workstations routinely accommodate much more than that. The "under $1K" price referred to a 768gb build (12x 64gb sticks on a Skylake based system), you could also do a dual-socket version with twice that, at the cost of messing with NUMA (which could be a pro or a con for throughput depending on how you're spreading bandwidth between nodes).
