View MAESTRO 7-layer threat model →Overview
DeepSeek-V3 is a 671-billion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model with 37B parameters activated per token. It excels in coding, mathematics, and multilingual tasks, outperforming leading open-source models like Qwen2.5-72B and Llama-3.1-405B, and matches closed-source models like GPT-4o and Claude-3.5-Sonnet in benchmarks. Trained on 14.8 trillion tokens using FP8 mixed precision, it achieves state-of-the-art efficiency with a 128K context window and 3x faster generation speed compared to its predecessor
Key features
- MoE Architecture: 671B total parameters, 37B activated per token, reducing computational costs by 80%.
- Multi-Head Latent Attention (MLA): Compresses key-value pairs to reduce memory usage by 40% while maintaining performance.
- FP8 Training: First open-source MoE model using FP8 mixed precision, cutting training costs to $5.57M (2.788M H800 GPU hours).
- Multi-Token Prediction (MTP): Predicts multiple tokens ahead, improving code generation and long-text coherence.
- Dynamic Load Balancing: Auxiliary-loss-free strategy ensures expert utilization without performance trade-offs
