Deploy DeepSeek V3 LLM with SGLang on ROCm

Executive Signal Summary

This technical how-to shows how to deploy DeepSeek V3, a 671B-parameter Mixture-of-Experts language model, using the SGLang inference server inside a ROCm-enabled Docker container on an AMD Instinct MI300X GPU host. The guide steps through downloading the model with the Hugging Face CLI, cloning and building the SGLang ROCm container (branch v0.4.2), running the server with GPU device access and tensor parallelism (--tp 8), and verifying inference via an OpenAI-compatible HTTP endpoint on port 30000. Prerequisites include access to a large-VRAM AMD MI300X GPU instance; the Vultr Docs link is provided as the canonical full guide.

Key Takeaways & Evidence Grounding

  • DeepSeek V3 is a 671B-parameter Mixture-of-Experts language model pre-trained on 14.8 trillion tokens.
  • The guide deploys DeepSeek V3 via SGLang in a ROCm-supported Docker container on an AMD Instinct MI300X GPU server.
  • The model download is initiated with the Hugging Face CLI using the identifier deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.
  • SGLang is cloned from the sgl-project GitHub repository and built from branch v0.4.2 into a ROCm Docker image.
  • The inference server is run with tensor parallelism across 8 GPUs and serves an OpenAI-compatible API on port 30000 for HTTP-based chat completions.

Run Qwen 3.8‑27B Locally with Unsloth & DeepSeek

Technical how‑to by Jacques Gariépy describing step‑by‑step instructions to run the Qwen 3.8‑27B model locally on an NVIDIA RTX 3090 (24 GB) using Unsloth (llama.cpp CUDA 13) as the local inference engine and DeepSeek Harness as the agent orchestration runtime. The guide covers obtaining Unsloth and Hugging Face tokens, a Windows-specific SSLKEYLOGFILE installation fix, compiling DeepSeek Harness, recommended llama-server.exe startup flags (FlashAttention‑2, Q8 KV cache, 32k context), .env and Cordis configuration for automatic local provider selection, common Windows troubleshooting, and measured benchmarks (~125 prompt tokens/s, ~38 predicted tokens/s) with ~23.5 GB VRAM usage.

DeepSeek v4 Day‑0 to Day‑43 Inference Performance Report

SemiAnalysis’ InferenceX published an engineering analysis of DeepSeek v4 Pro’s Day‑0 through Day‑43 inference performance across multiple accelerator SKUs (GB300 NVL72, Huawei Ascend 950DT, MI355X, B200/B300, H200). The report documents Day‑0 support on CUDA and Huawei CANN, early ROCm/AMD regressions and a subsequent >100x AMD throughput improvement by Day 26 led by HaiShaw’s team. It details kernel and runtime issues (notably a TensorRT‑LLM fused HC hidden‑size guard), PRs submitted to TensorRT‑LLM, and many incremental software optimizations (MTP, MegaMoE, FP4 paths, AITER kernels, Triton/TileLang/FlyDSL integration). The article highlights rack‑scale GB300 NVL72 SGLang results (with CoreWeave providing GB300 racks), discusses DeepSeek v4 architectural features (HCA/CSA, MegaMoE) and reports throughput and tokens‑per‑MW efficiency gains tied to software improvements.

How to Run LLMs Locally

A hands-on tutorial published by Nilesh Raut on 2026-05-21 that explains how developers can run large language models locally to reduce API costs, improve privacy, enable offline use, and speed experimentation. The guide walks through installing Ollama, pulling models (examples: llama3, qwen2.5-coder:7b), running a local REPL, integrating local models into VS Code via Continue.dev and Cline, and hosting a ChatGPT‑like UI locally using Open WebUI in Docker (exposed on http://localhost:3000). The article lists recommended models (Qwen2.5 Coder, DeepSeek Coder, Llama 3, Phi, Mistral), minimum hardware (16GB RAM, SSD, NVIDIA GPU recommended) and common local use cases such as coding help, refactoring, documentation and small agents.
