DeepSeek Elastic Compute (DSec)

# Computer Science > Distributed, Parallel, and Cluster Computing [Submitted on 19 Sep 2026] # Title:DeepSeek Elastic Compute (DSec): A Sandbox Infrastructure for Effective Agentic Training at Scale View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:Large-scale agentic training and evaluation with large language models (LLMs) rely on isolated, stateful execution environments in which models inspect repositories, invoke tools, execute commands, and interact with task-specific services. These workloads create sandboxes in large bursts, span heterogeneous functionality and isolation…
