DeepSeek open-sources DeepInfer inference engine with NVIDIA and Huawei support

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

DeepSeek has open-sourced DeepInfer, its in-house inference framework used to power its production services, including the DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash model. The framework, released under the Apache 2.0 license, focuses on offline inference and is built upon vLLM with additional optimizations and custom kernels. Notably, DeepInfer offers support for both NVIDIA GPUs and Huawei Ascend NPUs from its initial release, a rare inclusion for high-performance inference engines. AI

IMPACT Provides a production-ready inference engine with dual hardware support, potentially simplifying deployment for specific models.

RANK_REASON Open-source release of an inference engine, not a new frontier model or core research.
