AI brief
Deepseek is open-sourcing DeepInfer, the vLLM-based inference framework behind its fast V4.1-Flash model. The system is described as cutting compute costs and energy use when running AI models.
Why it matters: The release adds more pricing pressure on Western providers like OpenAI and Anthropic, according to the report.
