DeepSeek-Flash-DSpark is an open-weight language model from nvidia, listed in the AxForge catalogue. AxForge can bring it up on EU-owned hardware for you on request — with the licence handled where one is required.
About
Model Overview Description: The NVIDIA DeepSeek-V4-Flash-nvfp4-DSpark model is a quantized version of DeepSeek AI's DeepSeek-V4-Flash model, an autoregressive Mixture-of-Experts language model that uses an optimized Transformer architecture with hybrid attention (Compressed Sparse Attention and Heavily Compressed Attention) and Manifold-Constrained Hyper-Connections, packaged in a single checkpoint together with DeepSeek's official DSpark speculative decoding module. For more information, refer to the DeepSeek-V4-Flash model card and the DeepSeek-V4-Flash-DSpark model card. The NVIDIA DeepSeek-V4-Flash-nvfp4-DSpark model is quantized with Model Optimizer. Note: DeepSeek-V4-Flash-nvfp4-DSpark is not a new model. It is the NVFP4 backbone of nvidia/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-NVFP4 with DeepSeek's official DSpark speculative decoding module attached, so a single checkpoint serves as both target and draft model. For more details on DSpark, refer to: https://github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepSpec This model is ready for commercial/non-commercial use. <br Third-Party Community Consideration This model is not owned or developed by NVIDIA. This model has been developed and built to a third-party’s requirements for this application and use case; see link to Non-NVIDIA (DeepSeek-V4-Flash-DSpark) Model Card.

Using it via the API
Once AxForge deploys nvidia-deepseek-flash-dspark for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (nvidia-deepseek-flash-dspark below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)
$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"model":"nvidia-deepseek-flash-dspark","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'
Licence
Open weights under mit — commercial use is permitted. Deploy it on AxForge EU hardware on request. Read the licence ↗
