DeepSeek has released DeepInfer, the inference framework it says powers its production services, under the Apache 2.0 license. The current release supports offline inference for DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash on NVIDIA SM100 GPUs and Huawei Ascend 950 NPUs. [1][2]
The framework includes optimized runtime components and tools for distributing work across chips, but it does not provide everything needed for a complete online service. DeepSeek’s repository lists a key-value cache system, prompt-processing and generation disaggregation, and load balancing across replicas among the missing components. [1] The Next Web also notes that DeepSeek’s published performance figures have not been independently benchmarked. [2]
