Serve a DeepSeek model
Deploy a DeepSeek model as an OpenAI-compatible vLLM endpoint — strong reasoning and code performance for chat/completions traffic.
Estimated $0.80–$2.50/hr while serving, depending on model size · Long-running endpoint — starts in 3–7 min
What inputs you need
- Model: DeepSeek variant (e.g. DeepSeek-R1-Distill or DeepSeek-Coder)
- Max-cost budget
- Optional: context-length override
What Badgr returns
- OpenAI-compatible endpoint URL + API key
- Health-check status
- Usage receipt on teardown
Example command
badgr serve deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B \
--gpu H100 \
--max-cost 15Common setup failures Badgr avoids
Context length errors on long-reasoning prompts — confirm the model's max context and route to a higher-VRAM GPU for long-context workloads.
Endpoint fails health check on cold start — startup timeout accounts for the model's weight-load time.
