24–32 GB class
L4, A10, RTX 4090 or RTX 5090. Consider for smaller models only after measuring total memory, including runtime and cache.

Infrastructure for DeepSeek
Infrastructure for DeepSeek: model selection, memory requirements, storage and deployment choices without invented performance claims.
Choose a configuration in Console to review its resources and estimated cost.
What to plan for
DeepSeek-R1 and its distilled models are different workloads. Distilled releases span 1.5B to 70B parameters; the full model needs a separate sizing exercise.
Name the exact release and precision. “DeepSeek for 50 users” is insufficient to promise a GPU configuration or response time.
Configuration choices
48–80 GB class
L40S, A40, A100 or H100. More memory may accommodate larger working sets; it does not guarantee concurrency or token speed.
141 GB and multi-GPU
H200, B200 or B300 and explicitly sized multi-GPU systems. Confirm exact model, precision, topology and serving framework.
Weight-only memory ≈ parameters × bytes per parameter. Runtime, KV cache, activations and optimizer state are additional. This is a sizing method, not a deployment recommendation.
