DeepSeek's DSec sandbox platform serves 3M sandboxes daily for agent RL training; Liang Wenfeng co-authors

A new DeepSeek paper details DSec, the elastic compute sandbox platform behind the company's agent RL training — with founder Liang Wenfeng among 130+ co-authors.
Key numbers:
- 3 million sandboxes served per day, peak concurrency over 380,000, creation speeds above 5,000/sec
- One production unit: 160 CPU nodes, 30,000 cores, 250TB memory, petabyte-scale images
- A single training job can spin up 32,000 sandboxes at once
All RL training and evaluation from V3.2 through V4.1 ran on DSec. The takeaway: DeepSeek is signaling an infrastructure moat behind its agent push, not just model weights — scale most labs won't replicate.
