Instructions to use deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-Coder-V2-Lite-Instruct with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-Coder-V2-Lite-Instruct with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-Coder-V2-Lite-Instruct", trust_remote_code=True)
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-Coder-V2-Lite-Instruct", trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-Coder-V2-Lite-Instruct", trust_remote_code=True)
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

DeepSeek's code model V2 Lite is optimized for speed and low resource use, perfect for embedded developer tools. It's recently updated and seeing increased adoption. One option is to expose this as a hosted endpoint so users don't have to run it locally — platforms like AlphaNeural do this. Are you building a code assistant or IDE plugin?
