Community Reaction

DeepSeek’s move to open-source its inference optimizations has generated significant excitement in the AI community.

DeepSeek continues to not only push the boundaries but also publish these incredible papers explaining how they achieved their gains – something the American labs no longer do unfortunately. Chinese labs are doing the most interesting work in AI right now.

The Hugging Face models are already available, with the speculative decoding module built-in.

I’ve been using DeepSeek v4 pro for a month now in Kilo Code and its great. Fast, reliable, large context window and cheap as… Did 1,5B tokens this month and cost me 40usd (majority cached, but still).

Impact and Availability

The models, including Flash and Pro, can be found on Hugging Face.

Some users are excited to see if this makes it into DwarfStar for local inference.
