DeepSeek-V3

A 671B-parameter open MoE model trained for about $5.6 million in GPU time.

Released December 26, 2024, DeepSeek-V3 activated 37B parameters per token and used multi-head latent attention and FP8 training on 2.788 million H800 GPU hours. It matched leading closed models on many benchmarks and reset expectations of training cost.
