AI overview

Nathan Lambert reconstructed reported inference volumes and said DeepSeek serves 150T tokens per day on one cluster, exceeding the combined open model inference volume on OpenRouter, Fireworks, Together, and BaseTen. Lambert quoted @teortaxesTex, who linked to DeepSeek’s deployment documentation and noted that the number of clusters is unknown. The 150T-token figure therefore applies to the single cluster cited in the comparison, rather than an established total across DeepSeek’s clusters.

    Nathan Lambert says DeepSeek serves 150T tokens a day on one cluster, more than open model inference on OpenRouter, Fireworks, Together, and BaseTen combined. He presents his reconstruction of inference volume reports across those companies and quotes @teortaxesTex, who links to DeepSeek's deployment documentation and notes that the number of clusters is unknown. https://github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepInfer/blob/main/doc/inference_deployment_qa.md https://twitter.com/teortaxesTex/status/2113685096389579101
