DEEPINFER

DeepInfer is the inference framework that powers DeepSeek's large-scale production services. This repository contains a version for offline inference with the core features needed for serving at scale. It allows anyone to run DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash on NVIDIA SM100 GPUs or Huawei Ascend 950 NPUs. A KV cache system, VE/Prefill/Decode disaggregation, and load balancing across data-parallel replicas for both prefill and decode are still required for a complete inference service.

LLM-D

llm-d is a Kubernetes-native stack for distributed LLM inference. It runs vLLM, SGLang, and more across clusters, turning single-node engines into production-grade serving on local hardware. llm-d provides tested deployment recipes for common production patterns that are adaptable starting points across models, hardware, and workloads. It runs production LLM inference across GPUs, TPUs, XPUs, CPUs, and emerging NPUs with consistent performance patterns, so teams can deploy once and scale anywhere with predictable cost and behavior.

HEADROOM

Headroom compresses tool outputs, logs, files, and RAG chunks before they reach the LLM. Benchmarks show the compression results in 20% fewer tokens for coding agents and 60-95% fewer tokens for JSON. The tool runs locally to ensure no prompt or file content is sent externally.
