AI engineers and computer vision teams who need to deploy real-time, high-performance vision-language models across cloud, edge, and on-prem environments
About Photon
Photon is Moondream’s official high-performance inference engine, designed to run vision-language models efficiently across cloud, desktop, and edge environments while delivering real-time performance for production AI systems. It is built as a custom inference layer tightly integrated with the Moondream model architecture, using optimized scheduling, native image processing, and purpose-built CUDA kernels to maximize speed and efficiency. This co-designed approach allows Photon to significantly reduce latency compared to traditional VLM setups, enabling responsive interactions on edge devices and real-time throughput on server-grade hardware. It supports deployment across a wide range of NVIDIA GPUs, from embedded systems like Jetson devices to high-end multi-GPU servers, making it adaptable for diverse operational needs. It includes production-ready features such as automatic batching, prefix caching, and memory-efficient attention mechanisms.

Wafer
Wafer delivers the fastest open source LLMs for enterprise through serverless and dedicated inference built for production AI workloads. Its serverless inference gives teams access to top open models with no infrastructure, no deployment overhead, and fast APIs, including GLM-5.2-Fast for low-latency inference with EAGLE speculative decoding and a per-stream throughput SLA, GLM-5.2 as a flagship model with stronger coding and reasoning capabilities, and more. Wafer’s technology uses agents that optimize inference across the stack, identifying and enhancing bottlenecks in orchestration, algorithms, serving engines, GPU kernels, and diverse hardware. It profiles the stack to see whether latency or throughput comes from scheduling, decoding, kernels, memory pressure, or hardware fit, then tries many paths and ships the measured winner. Instead of relying on a single switch or heuristic, Wafer searches model, engine, kernel, and hardware combinations.

DeepInfer
DeepInfer is an open-source inference framework for running DeepSeek language models on Linux systems with supported NVIDIA or Huawei Ascend accelerators. It provides offline inference and runtime components for model execution, optimized kernels, distributed parallelism, asynchronous batch scheduling, speculative decoding, deterministic generation, and structured outputs such as JSON Schema, regular expressions, and EBNF formats. The project documents DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash support and includes build instructions, configuration guidance, examples, and evaluation tools. It is intended for developers and infrastructure teams building or evaluating self-managed inference deployments. Its repository notes that production services may require additional KV-cache, prefill/decode disaggregation, and load-balancing components not included in this release.
