- Who it helps
- Inference engineers with compatible accelerator hardware.
- Availability
- The public Apache-2.0 repository documents Linux, Python 3.12 and specific NVIDIA SM100 or Huawei Ascend 950 hardware. Ordinary laptop support is not established.
What is available
The README covers DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, structured outputs and deterministic sampling on NVIDIA. KV-cache infrastructure, the disaggregated service layer and load balancing are outside this release.
Check the benchmark conditions
The example documentation explains optional structured-output validation and warns that profiling can affect measurements. Compare hardware, workload and validation settings before interpreting a throughput result.
Early discussion
An October 20 Reddit thread discusses hardware requirements and deployment scope. Its visible engagement records interest; the thread supplies no controlled cost comparison.

Dated source checks and published explanations. An observation date can differ from the original release date.
- · Added to Current
DeepInfer exposes DeepSeek’s offline inference engine. Teams can inspect how it runs models, but operating a complete hosted service requires additional infrastructure.
