Deploying DeepSeek on 96 H100 GPUs

by: The SGLang Team , May 05, 2025 DeepSeek is a popular open-source large language model (LLM) praised for its strong performance. However, its large size and unique architecture, which uses Multi-head Latent Attention (MLA) and Mixture of Experts (MoE), require an advanced system for efficient serving at scale. In this blog, we explain how we match DeepSeek's inference system performance with SGLang. Our implementation, shown in the figure above, runs on 12 nodes in the Atlas Cloud, each equ

This is Alex Heath, your Thursday episode guest host and deputy editor at The Verge. It’s AI coding week at Decoder. You just heard Casey Newton’s interview with the CEO behind Cursor, Michael Truell. Now, I have a conversation with GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke. In many ways, GitHub Copilot set off the current AI coding boom. But since Thomas

Why AI researchers are getting paid like NBA All-Stars

Hello, and welcome to Decoder! This is Alex Heath, your Thursday episode guest host and deputy editor at The Verge. Today, I’m joined by Hayden Field, The Verge’s senior AI reporter. We’re talking about the AI talent wars and why some researchers are suddenly getting traded like they’re NBA superstars. If you’ve been paying attention at all to the AI industry this past month, you’ve likely seen stories about the hiring frenzy that’s been happening at Big Tech, research labs, and AI startups. Le

I made my VM think it has a CPU fan

Why bother? Some malware samples are known to do various checks to determine if they are running in a virtual machine. One of the common checks is to look for the presence of certain hardware components that are typically not emulated in virtualized environments. One such component is the CPU fan. One of the observed ways malware checks for the presence of a CPU fan is by looking for the Win32_Fan class in WMI: wmic path Win32_Fan get * And the reason they do this is they want to avoid runnin

PJ5 TTL CPU

Well, we did it… we cracked 4MIPS on our TTL CPU. I have to admit I’m both relieved and surprised. The key parts to achieving this was to decrease the latency for the instruction decode and also the flag register writing. The time to decode an instruction, perform a bit of math and then write to the flags was at around 270nS. With the changes we made, the instruction decode had a radical reworking and the flag writing had some big changes as well, means we go this down to under 200nS. Which m

Show HN: Zeekstd – Rust Implementation of the ZSTD Seekable Format

Zeekstd A Rust implementation of the Zstandard Seekable Format. The seekable format splits compressed data into a series of independent "frames", each compressed individually, so that decompression of a section in the middle of an archive only requires zstd to decompress at most a frame's worth of extra data, instead of the entire archive. Zeekstd makes additions to the seekable format by implementing an updated version of the specification, however, it is fully compatible with the initial ve

Hello, and welcome to a special episode of Decoder! This is David Pierce, editor-at-large at The Verge. Nilay is off this week for a much-deserved break from what I can only describe as a pretty bleak news cycle. So I’m filling in for him, and the Decoder team thought this would be a good opportunity to switch gears a little bit from the
