# DeepSeek open-sources DeepInfer inference framework and tokenizer library

The engine powers DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash in production with distributed inference, custom kernels, speculative decoding, and structured outputs.

- DeepInfer includes SWA Bounded Replay alongside its optimized engine and kernels
- Inference code and optimizations for future DeepSeek models will be added directly to the repository
- DeepSeek also open-sourced deepseek-recipe to replicate the official API's token encoding and decoding logic in self-hosted deployments

## Why it matters

Engineers self-hosting DeepSeek models can use the exact serving stack and token-processing logic DeepSeek runs in production.
