DeepSeek open-sources inference engine, DeepInfer, without KV cache

DeepSeek has open-sourced its high-performance inference engine, DeepInfer, which powers its large-scale production services. The release, available on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 license, includes DeepSeek's custom kernel libraries and supports models like DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash. However, the engine is provided without key components for a complete inference service, such as a KV cache system, disaggregation of prefill/decode stages, and load balancing across replicas, requiring users to build or integrate these themselves.
