DeepGEMM is DeepSeek's open-source library of highly optimized FP8 General Matrix Multiplication (GEMM) kernels targeting NVIDIA SM90/SM100 GPUs — the H100, H800, and Blackwell class. The headline feature is a lightweight just-in-time (JIT) compiler that eliminates the need for offline CUDA compilation at install time, dramatically lowering the barrier for teams who want raw GPU throughput without complex build pipelines. The library covers FP8 and FP4 dense GEMMs, BF16 accumulation, grouped GEMMs for Mixture-of-Experts architectures with overlapped NVLink communication, and multi-query attention scoring kernels. On H800 hardware DeepGEMM posts up to 1,550 TFLOPS — competitive with hand-tuned vendor libraries — while remaining fully open source under the MIT license. For LLM inference teams running on H100/H800 clusters, DeepGEMM slots directly into inference stacks like vLLM and SGLang. It's especially notable because it came from DeepSeek's internal training infrastructure, meaning it's been battle-tested at the scale that produced some of 2026's most cost-efficient models. This isn't research code — it's production tooling going public.

MCPCore is a browser-based platform that collapses the full lifecycle of Model Context Protocol server development — writing, testing, deploying, and managing — into a single interface. You describe what you want your MCP server to do in plain English, and an AI generates the server code. One-click deploy pushes it to an instant subdomain. No Dockerfile, no Kubernetes, no infrastructure decision-making. The platform covers four authentication modes (Public, API Key, OAuth 2.0, Bearer Token), AES-256 encrypted secret management for API keys and credentials your server needs at runtime, and ready-made configuration exports for every major MCP client: Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Cline. A usage dashboard tracks calls, errors, and latency. The free tier allows one server and 10,000 calls per month. As MCP adoption accelerates — with Anthropic, OpenAI, and the Linux Foundation all standardizing around the protocol — the bottleneck is shifting from "what can MCP do" to "who can actually build and host MCP servers." MCPCore is a direct answer to that bottleneck: it brings MCP server creation within reach of developers who can write JavaScript but have never configured a cloud deploy pipeline.
Reviewer scorecard
“If you're running inference on H100s or H800s, DeepGEMM is an immediate drop-in for the hottest path in your stack. The JIT approach means you're not fighting CUDA version mismatches, and 1,550 TFLOPS is a number that makes you pay attention. Already integrates with vLLM — just use it.”
“Setting up a production MCP server with OAuth and encrypted secrets normally takes a day of DevOps work. MCPCore gets you there in 20 minutes with a browser. The auto-generated config exports for Claude Desktop and Cursor are a nice touch — it handles the part of MCP adoption that causes the most friction for non-infra engineers.”
“This is only useful if you're already running H100/H800 clusters — consumer GPU users get nothing here. Documentation is still thin in places, and support for anything below SM90 is explicitly not a priority. Great for DeepSeek's own infra needs; might be too narrow for most teams.”
“Vendor lock-in risk is real here. Your MCP servers live on MCPCore's infrastructure, which means if pricing changes or the service shuts down your integrations break. AI-generated server code is also a black box — when it fails at 3am you're debugging code you didn't write on infrastructure you don't control. For hobby projects it's fine; for production it needs scrutiny.”
“DeepSeek consistently publishes its internal tooling and each release raises the efficiency ceiling for the whole industry. DeepGEMM is another piece of the puzzle that makes frontier inference cheaper — which ultimately benefits everyone downstream from model providers to end users.”
“MCP is becoming the HTTP of AI tool integrations — every LLM client will eventually speak it natively. The companies that win the MCP server hosting market will be analogous to early web hosts in the 90s. MCPCore is positioning early in a market that will be enormous once enterprise adoption kicks in.”
“Far outside the creative tooling space but the downstream effect matters: faster, cheaper inference means the models powering creative AI tools get cheaper to run. Not something a designer touches directly, but the efficiency wins flow through to them eventually.”
“Content teams increasingly want to give their Claude or Cursor setups custom data sources — CMS access, brand asset libraries, analytics feeds. MCPCore makes that possible without needing a backend engineer. Describe your data source, deploy, paste the config into Claude Desktop — that's the abstraction level creators actually need.”
