DeepSeek V3

What is DeepSeek V3?

DeepSeek V3 is an advanced AI large language model (LLM) that employs a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture with a total of 671 billion parameters, activating only 37 billion per token to optimize resource use without sacrificing performance. Pre-trained on 14.8 trillion high-quality tokens, it excels in complex reasoning, coding, multilingual understanding, and long-context processing with a 128K token window. DeepSeek V3 integrates innovations such as Multi-Head Latent Attention (MLA), multi-token prediction, and auxiliary-loss-free load balancing to deliver state-of-the-art results comparable to leading closed-source models like GPT-4, while maintaining efficient inference and cost-effective training. It supports multiple deployment frameworks and hardware platforms, and is accessible via API, web demo, or local deployment.
