The serving layer is where the real cost of inference lives. For a week the industry’s attention has been on the license layer, where four labs moved to gate commercial deployment of open-weight models at the $20M revenue gate . DeepSeek just moved the pressure to the runtime. The lab that competes on price has given away the engine that runs its own production services. We’re sharing our production stack to help the community lower compute costs, reduce energy use, and make AI more affordable. That is DeepSeek’s framing, in the announcement that shipped the code at 09:30Z Tuesday.
