DeepSeek Open-Sources DeepInfer Inference Framework Behind Its Production AI Services

DeepSeek has released DeepInfer as open source, according to a statement published in the project's GitHub repository. The inference framework is the same software that runs the company's large-scale production services, meaning the infrastructure layer that serves its AI models at scale is now publicly available. The announcement was reported by Quartz. The release places DeepSeek among AI developers that publish the serving and deployment tooling behind their models rather than keeping it proprietary. No licensing terms, performance benchmarks, or release timeline beyond the GitHub statement were disclosed in the source material.
