Echo9Zulu/DeepSeek-R1-0528-Qwen3-8B-OpenVINO

My Project OpenArc, an inference engine for OpenVINO, now supports this model and serves inference over OpenAI compatible endpoints for text to text and text with vision!

We have a growing Discord community of others interested in using Intel for AI/ML.
