DeepSeek opens its inference engine, leaving service plumbing to developers

DeepSeek has published DeepInfer, its inference framework for running DeepSeek models, in an October 20th post on the company's official X account.

• The project puts model-serving infrastructure alongside the open models DeepSeek has already released, offering a view into how DeepSeek says it runs inference at scale.
• According to the report, operators still need missing service components and independently reproducible benchmarks before they can judge the framework's practical advantage.
• The available materials do not identify founder Liang Wenfeng as a DeepInfer builder or maintainer.
