-# DeepSeek V3 Support
+# DeepSeek V3.1/V3/R1 Support
 
 The SGLang and DeepSeek teams collaborated to get DeepSeek V3 FP8 running on NVIDIA and AMD GPUs **from day one**. SGLang also supports [MLA optimization](https://lmsys.org/blog/2024-09-04-sglang-v0-3/#deepseek-multi-head-latent-attention-mla-throughput-optimizations) and [DP attention](https://lmsys.org/blog/2024-12-04-sglang-v0-4/#data-parallelism-attention-for-deepseek-models), making SGLang one of the best open-source LLM engines for running DeepSeek models. SGLang is the inference engine recommended by the official [DeepSeek team](https://github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3/tree/main?tab=readme-ov-file#62-inference-with-sglang-recommended).

 - [Data Parallelism Attention](https://lmsys.org/blog/2024-12-04-sglang-v0-4/#data-parallelism-attention-for-deepseek-models): For high QPS scenarios, add the `--enable-dp-attention` argument to boost throughput.
 - [Torch.compile Optimization](https://lmsys.org/blog/2024-09-04-sglang-v0-3/#torchcompile-latency-optimizations): Add `--enable-torch-compile` argument to enable it. This will take some time while server starts. The maximum batch size for torch.compile optimization can be controlled with `--torch-compile-max-bs`. It's recommended to set it between `1` and `8`. (e.g., `--torch-compile-max-bs 8`)

+On top of the basic usage similar to the DeepSeek V3/R1 example, DeepSeek V3.1 supports a request-level thinking/non-thinking toggle. Simply switch the `"thinking"` field in `extra_body={"chat_template_kwargs": {"thinking": True}}` to enable/disable the thinking mode.

+Answer:
+```
+First, the question is: "What is the capital of France?" I know that the capital of France is Paris.
+
+The user says: "Answer the following with the second letter of the correct answer only." So, I need to provide only the second letter of the correct answer.
+
+The correct answer is "Paris". Now, I need to find the second letter of "Paris".
+
+Let's spell it out: P-A-R-I-S.
+
+- First letter: P
+
+- Second letter: A
+
+- Third letter: R
+
+- Fourth letter: I
+
+- Fifth letter: S
+
+So, the second letter is "A".
+
+I should only output the second letter, which is "A". No additional text or explanation, just the letter.
+
+The user emphasized "the second letter of the correct answer only", so my response should be just "A".
+
+Finally, I need to make sure that this is the correct answer. Yes, Paris is indeed the capital of France.</think>A
+```
+* The response contains `</think>` thinking trace and model was able to derive the correct answer from it.

 ### Example: Serving with two H20\*8 nodes
 
 For example, there are two H20 nodes, each with 8 GPUs. The first node's IP is `10.0.0.1`, and the second node's IP is `10.0.0.2`. Please **use the first node's IP** for both commands.
