Deployment

What "managed deployment" means

SystemA dedicated NVIDIA DGX Spark (GB10, 128 GB unified memory), reserved for you
Commercial modelHour, week, month or year. Hardware from €0.85/hour, managed service quoted per deployment
EndpointOpenAI-compatible /v1 on your own machine, only your traffic
LocationHosted in the EU: Málaga, Spain (eu-es-1)
Data handlingZero prompt retention, same policy as the serverless API

The model is validated on AxForge hardware and deployed on your system. After deployment, your endpoint speaks the OpenAI API with the model name you receive with the deployment.

Data & privacy

Zero prompt retention

Prompts and completions are processed in memory in the EU, not written to disk, not logged, not retained, and never used to train anything. We keep only request metadata (token counts, timestamps, status) for billing and operations. The full policy is at axforge.ai/privacy.

FAQ

DeepSeek-OCR hosting: common questions

Is DeepSeek-OCR on the AxForge serverless API?

Not on the serverless API. It is available as a managed deployment: validated on AxForge hardware and deployed on a DGX Spark for your traffic only. The serverless API serves Qwen3.8 27B.

How is DeepSeek-OCR different from a vision LLM?

It is built for one job, reading documents into text, and does it faster and cheaper than a general vision model; for questions about the content, pair it with an LLM on the same machine.

Which formats does it handle?

Images and page renders of PDFs; AxForge sets up the page-to-image step with the deployment so you send documents and receive markdown.

How fast is DeepSeek-OCR on your hardware?

We publish only numbers we measure ourselves, and we haven't benchmarked this model on our nodes yet. For quality benchmarks, see the official model card.

What does a dedicated DeepSeek-OCR deployment look like?

A dedicated NVIDIA DGX Spark (GB10, 128 GB unified memory) rented by the hour, week, month or year, running DeepSeek-OCR behind an OpenAI-compatible endpoint on your own machine, hosted in the EU with zero prompt retention.

What does EU DeepSeek-OCR hosting cost?

Hardware from €0.85/hour, by the hour, week, month or year; the managed service is quoted per deployment. Request deployment and we confirm both in writing.
