DeepSeek claims to have 2000 GPUs available for direct contact with the official team

DeepSeek stated in the V4.1 Flash open-source announcement that if there are 2000 GPUs and storage clusters, they can contact DeepSeek directly.

V4.1 Flash is still open-sourced under the MIT License, without additional licensing conditions based on company revenue or business scale. Companies with resources can deploy it themselves, and contacting DeepSeek is more like a direct technical collaboration for ultra-large-scale scenarios. DeepSeek has not yet announced a formal private deployment product or paid service.

In the past, after DeepSeek open-sourced the model, deployment adaptations were mostly completed by inference frameworks and hardware vendors such as SGLang and TensorRT-LLM. This time, the official team has proactively provided direct contact information for large-scale deployments and stated that they will continue to support the open-source community in adapting inference for new models.
