The paper details production infrastructure for agentic training, spanning container, microVM and full-VM backends behind one SDK.
DeepSeek and collaborators published a paper on DeepSeek Elastic Compute (DSec), a sandbox infrastructure built for large-scale agentic training, describing a unified SDK over FnCall, container, microVM and full-VM execution backends plus a distributed filesystem called Fire-Flyer File System (3FS). The paper reports the production system handles about 3 million sandboxes daily, supports more than 380,000 concurrent sandboxes, sustains over 5,000 sandbox creations per second, and that a single production unit spans around 160 nodes. The paper was submitted to arXiv on September 19, 2026.
