🚀 Deployment Guide
Method 1: Using Ollama (Recommended)
# Install Ollama
curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh
# Run the model
ollama run deepseek/ai/deepseek/llm/7b/chat
Method 2: Using HuggingFace Transformers
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("deepseek/ai/deepseek/llm/7b/chat")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("deepseek/ai/deepseek/llm/7b/chat")
prompt = "Your prompt here"
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_length=200)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0]))
Method 3: Using vLLM (Production)
# Install vLLM
pip install vllm
# Start server
python -m vllm.entrypoints.openai.api_server \
--model deepseek/ai/deepseek/llm/7b/chat \
--host 0.0.0.0 \
--port 8000
Method 4: Using Docker
docker run -d \
-p 8080:8080 \
-v ~/.cache/huggingface:/root/.cache/huggingface \
ghcr.io/huggingface/text-generation-inference:latest \
--model-id deepseek/ai/deepseek/llm/7b/chat

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose between deployment methods?
Ollama is best for local development and testing. vLLM is recommended for production deployments with high throughput requirements. HuggingFace Transformers offers the most flexibility for custom implementations.
Can I run this on CPU only?
Yes, but GPU acceleration is highly recommended for acceptable performance. On CPU, expect slower inference times, especially for larger models.
Is this model suitable for commercial use?
Check the MIT / Apache 2.0 license terms. Most open-source models allow commercial use, but some have restrictions.
