DeepSeek开源推理引擎DeepInfer，用于服务V4.1-Flash
Deepseek open-sources the inference engine that powers its fastest and cheapest AI model
DeepSeek以Apache License 2.0开源内部推理框架DeepInfer，用它让V4.1-Flash在规模化场景下快速生成回答。该框架基于vLLM，包含优化计算内核、多芯片分布式处理和更快的文本生成技术，未来模型代码也将开源。公司同时发布deepseek-recipe，用于复现官方API的token处理，使自托管行为与线上一致，并表示希望帮助社区降低算力成本、能耗并让AI更可负担。
Deepseek has open-sourced DeepInfer, its internal inference framework, under the Apache License 2.0. Inference is how a trained AI model handles requests and generates responses. DeepInfer is the serving software that lets Deepseek's V4.1-Flash model produce answers quickly at scale.
The framework builds on vLLM with optimized compute kernels, distributed processing across multiple chips, and faster text generation techniques. Code for future Deepseek models will also ship as open source. Deepseek is also releasing deepseek-recipe, which replicates the token processing of the official Deepseek API so self-hosted setups behave the same way.
Deepseek's models are already dirt cheap. DeepInfer fills the last gap for running them even more cheaply. The goal is "to help the community lower compute costs, reduce energy use, and make AI more affordable," the company said on X. But the release also adds pricing pressure on Western providers like OpenAI and Anthropic. Given the AI race between China and the US, the move could be politically motivated too. If Western AI companies miss their growth targets, that's a risk for the US economy and beyond.
