- vLLM
How to use deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-OCR with vLLM:
Install from pip and serve model
# Install vLLM from pip: pip install vllm # Start the vLLM server: vllm serve "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-OCR" # Call the server using curl (OpenAI-compatible API): curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/v1/completions" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ --data '{ "model": "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-OCR", "prompt": "Once upon a time,", "max_tokens": 512, "temperature": 0.5 }'Use Docker
docker model run hf.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-OCR
- SGLang
How to use deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-OCR with SGLang:
Install from pip and serve model
# Install SGLang from pip: pip install sglang # Start the SGLang server: python3 -m sglang.launch_server \ --model-path "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-OCR" \ --host 0.0.0.0 \ --port 30000 # Call the server using curl (OpenAI-compatible API): curl -X POST "http://localhost:30000/v1/completions" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ --data '{ "model": "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-OCR", "prompt": "Once upon a time,", "max_tokens": 512, "temperature": 0.5 }'Use Docker images
docker run --gpus all \ --shm-size 32g \ -p 30000:30000 \ -v ~/.cache/huggingface:/root/.cache/huggingface \ --env "HF_TOKEN=<secret>" \ --ipc=host \ lmsysorg/sglang:latest \ python3 -m sglang.launch_server \ --model-path "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-OCR" \ --host 0.0.0.0 \ --port 30000 # Call the server using curl (OpenAI-compatible API): curl -X POST "http://localhost:30000/v1/completions" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ --data '{ "model": "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-OCR", "prompt": "Once upon a time,", "max_tokens": 512, "temperature": 0.5 }' - Docker Model Runner
How to use deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-OCR with Docker Model Runner:

Gradio app
Thank you!
How much GPU do we need for hosting this model?
not much i guess... im using 3090 and its working blazing fast.
Wanted to run it just in vLLM is that possible by using the vLLM serve command ? I don’t see vLLM is mentioned here.
How are you hosting it ? vLLM? Would you mind sharing it ?
Checkout their github repo.. they have full vLLM code given. I was running using transformers.
@firstdears i try to with vllm serve like you getting some package errors if i can solve it sharing it here otherwise i try to run like https://github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-OCR#vllm-inference in here.
