DeepSeek published a paper on DSec, its infrastructure for making agent training elastic
This story was corrected after publication (Oct. 9, 2026). Details
The paper, with around 130 authors including founder Liang Wenfeng, describes DeepSeek Elastic Compute, or DSec. The system mass-produces the isolated environments in which AI agents are trained with reinforcement learning, managing four types, from simple function calls and containers to lightweight VMs and full VMs running complete operating systems such as Android, through a single Python interface. A unit of about 160 nodes can create more than 5,000 environments per second and about 3 million a day, and run more than 380,000 at once. The paper is about the environments agents are trained in, not about model serving.

Corrections and updates
- The version first posted on Instagram listed full Windows and macOS systems among the environments DSec manages. The paper does not mention Windows or macOS; its example for full VMs is Android, and the text has been corrected.
