Serving DeepSeek V3 with Text Generation Inference on RTX Spark

Production Text Generation Inference deployment of DeepSeek V3 on RTX Spark. Configs, systemd, TLS, observability.

Install

Install Text Generation Inference via pip/docker/apt as appropriate. Verify GPU visibility with nvidia-smi.

  • # Text Generation Inference install
  • # see Text Generation Inference docs

Config

Optimized Text Generation Inference config for DeepSeek V3 at Q3_K_S: batch, KV cache dtype, and parallelism knobs.

Systemd unit

[Unit] Description=Text Generation Inference for DeepSeek V3 — [Service] ExecStart=/usr/bin/tgi serve deepseek-v3 --port 8000 — Restart=always.

nginx + TLS

Terminate TLS at nginx with a Let's Encrypt cert, rate-limit at 20 req/s per IP, and proxy to the local Text Generation Inference port.

Observability

Scrape Text Generation Inference Prometheus metrics into Grafana; watch tokens_per_second, batch_size, and kv_cache_usage.

Frequently asked questions

Is Text Generation Inference the fastest for DeepSeek V3?

It's the easiest, not always the fastest.

Can I run multiple models with one instance?

One process per model is standard.
