DeepSeek-V3 is a revolutionary open-source AI model from Chinese company DeepSeek that redefines the price-performance ratio in the AI world. It's a versatile workhorse with 671 billion parameters capable of competing with the best closed models at a training cost of just $5.6 million.
The key innovation is the innovative Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture that activates only 37 billion parameters per token, ensuring efficiency without performance loss. The model uses Multi-head Latent Attention (MLA) and DeepSeekMoE architectures with pioneering auxiliary-loss-free load balancing strategy.
Technically, the model demonstrates outstanding results: 88.5% on MMLU, 75.9% on MMLU-Pro, and 59.1% on GPQA, surpassing many closed models. In coding, the model scores 82.6% on HumanEval, outperforming GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet.
The model is trained on 14.8 trillion tokens in just 2.664 million H800 GPU hours with 128K token context window support. Perfect for development, research, AI agent creation, and commercial use thanks to open source nature and exceptional efficiency, making frontier AI accessible to everyone.
