DeepSeek Elastic Compute (DSec): A Sandbox Infrastructure for Effective Agentic Training at Scale (Semantic Scholar)
paper · Story page
DeepSeek's report on the platform behind its agentic training: FnCall, container, microVM and full-VM sandboxes behind one SDK, with cluster-wide lifecycle management and images loaded on demand. What repays the time is the split between stateful rollouts and preemptible GPU training.
In plain words
- DeepSeek described the computer system it uses to train and test artificial intelligence assistants.
- Each assistant gets a separate computer workspace that remembers its progress while it runs programs or uses tools.
- It separates ongoing practice tasks from the training work that can be paused.
- Teams training many assistants can manage different kinds of these workspaces through the same software.
