deepinfer deepseek

deepinfer deepseek: an Apache-2.0 engine for V4.1-Flash on SM100 and Ascend 950. Not a model or API; benchmark caveats flagged.

What the DeepInfer Release Actually Is

An Apache-2.0 inference engine for DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash — not a model, not a hosted API, and not a complete serving stack.

  • Engine, Not Model
    Apache-2.0 code for running V4.1-Flash, out 20 October 2026; the weights are MIT-licensed and versioned 1017.
  • Where the Code Stops
    Three gaps are named outright: KV cache, prefill/decode disaggregation, replica load balancing — all held back with internal infra.
  • Hardware and Recipe
    SM100 and Ascend 950 are listed, charts are NVIDIA-only, and deepseek-recipe ships separately under MIT for protocol conversion.

How to Run DeepInfer

Three steps, plus the serving work the release leaves to you.

Inside the DeepInfer Engine

The engineering choices the release actually contains: kernels, parallelism, speculation, cache policy, scheduling, and determinism.

Six Kernels, One Engine

The attention, GEMM, expert-communication, tile, and token-selection kernels shipped as separate projects; now they run inside one engine.

Wide-EP with EPLB

Attention goes data-parallel, MoE layers expert-parallel; decode spreads experts over 64–128 GPUs and EPLB rebalances hot ones with redundant copies.

DSpark with a Confidence Head

Draft tokens are proposed ahead and a confidence head decides which are worth verifying; DeepSeek reports +4–7% throughput at its production point.

SWA Bounded Replay

Instead of rebuilding the whole sliding-window cache at every layer, only the recent tail is replayed — approximate output, bounded recompute.

Async Scheduling by Default

The CPU prepares the next batch while the GPU runs the current one, closing the idle gap between decode steps — small detail, real throughput value.

Deterministic Modes on NVIDIA

Batch-invariant inference and deterministic sampling let benchmark runs and agent traces be audited, which is what makes published numbers checkable.

FAQ

DeepInfer DeepSeek — FAQ

Straight answers on the V4.1-Flash release, hardware support, the missing serving pieces, and the benchmark charts.

1

Is DeepInfer a model or an engine?

An engine. It runs DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017, whose weights are MIT-licensed, while the DeepInfer code itself is Apache-2.0 and allows commercial use with the usual notice obligations.

2

Can I run DeepInfer on an RTX 4090 or H100?

Not per the documentation. The supported list covers SM100 GPUs and Ascend 950 NPUs; anything older from NVIDIA, or a consumer card, is not on it.

3

Does DeepInfer ship an OpenAI-compatible API server?

No. What ships is offline inference. deepseek-recipe covers protocol conversion and tokenization but is not a server, so the serving layer remains your build.

4

Why is the KV cache system missing?

DeepSeek describes the cache-management and load-balancing code as too entangled with its own infrastructure to publish in full, so that portion stays withheld for now.

5

How fast is DeepInfer, and what do the charts prove?

Two Pareto charts were published — prefill on 4 SM100 GPUs and decode on 64 at a 131,072-token context — with no outside reproduction, so treat them as trade-off maps, not promises for your workload.

6

Which DeepInfer is this page about?

DeepSeek's 2026 inference framework. The same name also labels an unrelated 2016 medical-imaging toolkit and a 2023 smart-contract type-inference project; DeepInfer is not affiliated with the provider DeepInfra.
