DeepSeek releases open-source inference framework DeepInfer
Chinese start-up DeepSeek has open-sourced an AI framework to make AI models cheaper and more efficient to deploy.
The framework, DeepInfer, is designed to support DeepSeek’s own AI model, DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash, on various hardware platforms.
Inference refers to the serving and running of AI models, and frameworks like DeepInfer help optimize this process.
The move is seen as a challenge to closed-source AI, with DeepSeek’s senior researcher describing the divide as a ‘battle between light and darkness’.
