deploy-deepseek-mlc

deploy-deepseek-mlc is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Seeed-Projects/Seeed-Jetson-DevelopTool. It costs 55 tokens per session (1,346 once invoked), scanned D, original, MIT.

A step-by-step guide for running DeepSeek, an AI model, on a Jetson Orin computer using MLC, a tool for compiling machine-learning models for a target device. It uses Docker containers and checks the device before deployment.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking a Jetson system, installing the required container tools, downloading the model, and deploying DeepSeek for local inference.
Why use it?
It helps catch insufficient memory, storage, or software versions before downloading models or changing the device setup.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade D, and why

deploy-deepseek-mlc scanned grade D with 3 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 170 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Deploy DeepSeek on Jetson with MLC


Execution model

Run one phase at a time. After each phase:

  • Relay all command output to the user.
  • If output contains [STOP] → stop immediately, consult the failure decision tree below.
  • If output ends with [OK] → tell the user "Phase N complete" and proceed to the next phase.

Prerequisites

Requirement Minimum
Hardware reComputer J4012 (Jetson Orin NX 16GB) or equivalent
RAM >8 GB (16 GB recommended for DeepSeek-R1 7B+)
JetPack 5.1.1+ (JetPack 6.x preferred)
Storage SSD strongly recommended — model weights are large
Internet Required for Docker pull and model download

Phase 1 — Preflight

Verify JetPack version, available RAM, and disk space before touching Docker.

cat /etc/nv_tegra_release
free -h
df -h /
df -h /ssd 2>/dev/null || true

Expected: L4T R35.x (JP5) or R36.x (JP6), ≥8 GB RAM free, ≥50 GB disk available. [OK] when all three pass. [STOP] if RAM or disk is insufficient.


Phase 2 — Install Docker + nvidia-container

sudo apt update

# JetPack 5.x
sudo apt install -y nvidia-container

# JetPack 6.x — also install curl, then Docker
sudo apt install -y nvidia-container curl
curl https://get.docker.com | sh
sudo systemctl --now enable docker

# Add current user to docker group
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp docker

Verify:

docker --version
docker run --rm --runtime nvidia --gpus all ubuntu:22.04 nvidia-smi

Expected: nvidia-smi output shows the Jetson GPU. [OK] when GPU is visible inside the container.

Move Docker storage to SSD (strongly recommended)

Edit /etc/docker/daemon.json:

{
  "data-root": "/ssd/docker",
  "runtimes": {
    "nvidia": {
      "path": "nvidia-container-runtime",
      "runtimeArgs": []
    }
  }
}
sudo systemctl restart docker
docker info | grep "Docker Root Dir"

[OK] when Docker Root Dir points to your SSD path.

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

deploy-deepseek-mlc is a skill published in the GitHub repository Seeed-Projects/Seeed-Jetson-DevelopTool (54 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 1,346 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 3 findings (asks for root, downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
