Inference Remains an Unsolved Challenge for Open-Source Models
scaling01 · x · 2026-07-06
Users point out that for almost all open-weight models like DeepSeek, Qwen, and GLM, inference remains an unsolved puzzle: when not using the original provider's inference service, these models behave drastically differently. This means varying inference backends introduce significant behavioral disparities, an unavoidable issue when deploying open-source models.
