DeepSeek-V3 is a large, efficient open mixture-of-experts model from China.
On December 26, 2024, Chinese lab DeepSeek released the open model V3, a mixture-of-experts with 671 billion parameters, of which only a fraction are active per token.
Powerful and affordable
V3 performed at the level of closed top models, yet was notably cheap to train and freely available. It laid the groundwork for the reasoning model R1, one month later.
China in the race
V3 showed that Chinese labs were competing at the front and that efficient training could shift the cost dynamics in AI.
