Instructions to use deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash")

# pip install -U transformers accelerate
# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash", device_map="auto")

vLLM

How to use deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash with vLLM:

Install from pip and serve model

# Install vLLM from pip:
pip install vllm
# Start the vLLM server:
vllm serve "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash"
# Call the server using curl (OpenAI-compatible API):
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/v1/completions" \
	-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
	--data '{
		"model": "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash",
		"prompt": "Once upon a time,",
		"max_tokens": 512,
		"temperature": 0.5
	}'

Use Docker

docker model run hf.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash

SGLang

How to use deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash with SGLang:

Install from pip and serve model

Range 2-3/46 (riscv-core-debug unresolved). The same run scores 5/46 at its full 3-hour budget. Official LHTB Harbor harness."
