A complete guide to deploying DeepSeek large models locally: from full models to distilled versions, build your own private AI brain! ——Ordinary people can also play with enterprise-level AI without sky-high computing power!

1. Why choose to deploy DeepSeek locally?

1️⃣Data  is absolutely safe

• Case : A tertiary hospital in Shanghai deployed a medical diagnosis assistant to process 3.2TB of CT images and electronic medical record data containing patient privacy in a single day, meeting the compliance requirements of the "Guidelines for Health and Medical Data Security" (GB/T 39725-2020).
• Technical implementation :
• Use the national SM4-CBC encryption algorithm for transport layer encryption (TLS 1.3 custom protocol)
• Build a trusted execution environment based on Intel SGX and isolate sensitive data processing flow in memory
• Using LUKS disk encryption and Kubernetes network policies to achieve storage-level isolation

2️⃣Performance  crushes the cloud

• Measured data : Qingdao Port intelligent dispatching system deploys DeepSeek-32B model, implemented on NVIDIA A10 GPU:
• Throughput: increased from 32 req/s to 78 req/s
• P99 latency: reduced from 850ms to 210ms
• Optimization principle :
• CUDA Graph Optimization: Reduce instruction scheduling times through kernel fusion (measured reduction of 87% of cudaLaunchKernel calls)
• Memory bandwidth optimization: Use NVIDIA MPS (Multi-Process Service) to achieve time-sharing multiplexing of video memory

3️⃣  Revolutionary reduction in costs

• Cost comparison : A large insurance company (average daily request volume of 1.2 million)
• API plan: $0.002/1k tokens, annual expenditure: 4.12 million
• Local deployment: 4 RTX 4090 servers (total price 720,000) + annual electricity fee 60,000
• Key technologies :
• Hierarchical quantization strategy: retain FP16 for the embedding layer and use GPTQ 4-bit quantization for other layers
• Dynamic offloading technology: transfer inactive model parameters to Intel Optane persistent memory based on LRU strategy

2. Full Model Deployment: Unlocking the "Complete Version" of 670B Parameters

? Heterogeneous computing practice (taking NVIDIA+Intel architecture as an example)

# AMX optimization based on Intel Extension for PyTorch
import  intel_extension_for_pytorch  as  ipex

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(...)
model = ipex.optimize(
    model, 
    dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    auto_kernel_selection = True ,
    graph_mode = True
)

# Dynamically allocate computational graph nodes
with  torch.jit.enable_onednn_fusion():
    def _forward_impl (input_ids) : 
        return  model(input_ids).logits
    
    traced_model = torch.jit.trace(_forward_impl, example_inputs)

Key technological breakthroughs :

1. AMX instruction set acceleration:

• Use Intel VNNI (Vector Neural Network Instructions) to speed up int8 calculations
• Optimize matrix partitioning strategy through oneDNN library (Tile Size=64x256)

• Pipeline parallel optimization:
• Using the PipeDream scheduling algorithm, 87% parallel efficiency is achieved in a 4-card environment
• Optimizing cross-GPU gradient synchronization using NCCL's P2P communication

? Full process of enterprise-level deployment

1. Hardware preparation :

• GPU: At least 4 NVIDIA A100/A10 (video memory ≥ 40GB)
• CPU: Intel Xeon Scalable 4th Gen (with AMX instruction set)
• Memory: DDR5 4800MHz ECC memory, capacity ≥ 512GB

• Performance tuning configuration :

# deepseek_optimized.yaml
compute_config:
  pipeline_parallel_degree: 4 
  tensor_parallel_degree: 2 
  expert_parallel: false 
memory_config:
  offload_strategy:

    pin_memory: true 
  activation_memory_ratio: 0.7

python -m deepseek.benchmark \
    --model deepseek-670b \
    --request-rate 1000 \
    --duration 300s \
    --output-latency-report latency.html

3. Distillation Model Deployment: The "Price-Performance King" of Low-Configuration Hardware

? Model Compression Science

Compression algorithm selection matrix :

Derivation of video memory calculation formula :

Video memory requirement = number of parameters × (number of bits of precision / 8) × activation coefficient
in:
- Number of bits of precision: FP32=32, FP16=16, int4=4
- Activation coefficient: Considering the gradient/optimizer state, 3-4 for full training and 1.2-1.5 for inference
Example:
7B model FP16 inference requirement = 7×10^9 × (16/8) × 1.3 = 18.2GB
After quantization to int4 = 7×10^9 × (4/8) × 1.3 = 4.55GB

? Production-level quantitative deployment

# Quantization implementation based on AutoGPTQ
from  transformers  import  AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
from  auto_gptq  import  GPTQQuantizer

quantizer = GPTQQuantizer(
    bits = 4 ,
    group_size = 128 ,
    desc_act = True ,
    dataset= "c4" ,
    model_seqlen = 4096
)

quant_model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "deepseek-7b" ,
    quantization_config=quantizer.to_config(),
    device_map= "auto"
)

# Save the quantized model
quant_model.save_quantized( "./deepseek-7b-4bit" , use_safetensors= True )

        self.T = T0
        self.dT = (T_max - T0) / steps

    model,
    mixed_precision=torch.dtype,
    limit_all_gathers = True ,
