DeepSeek-V3 is a 671-billion-parameter open-weight Mixture-of-Experts model released in December 2024 that activates just 37 billion parameters per token for efficient inference. It pairs Multi-head Latent Attention with sparse expert routing to deliver strong reasoning, mathematics, and code generation. The model was trained on 14.8 trillion tokens for roughly 5.6 million dollars in compute, a fraction of what comparable closed models reportedly required. It supports function calling and tool use, making it a practical base for production agentic workflows. DeepSeek-V3 targets cost-conscious teams that want capable general-purpose performance without proprietary lock-in, and its architecture became the foundation for the wider V3 family of releases.
DeepSeek V3 runs on 2 different routes through the Opper gateway. Compare residency, ZDR, and training posture at a glance β full data-handling detail per route below.
DeepSeek V3 runs on 2 independently monitored routes through the Opper gateway. A direct integration leaves you on one of them, the gateway serves whichever is healthy.
Measured over the last 30 days from each provider's official status feed via StatusGator. Refreshed hourly. See uptime for every provider Opper monitors.
Each route hosting DeepSeek V3 has its own privacy posture, residency, and GDPR terms. Postures are maintained by Opper with a last-verification timestamp.
Zero data retention is available via Opper Enterprise contract. No training on customer data. US; unknown.

Independent benchmark scores β composite indices for reasoning, coding, and math, plus individual eval scores where available.
Call DeepSeek V3 through the Opper gateway with one API key. Let your coding agent set it up, or call it directly β Opper is drop-in compatible with the OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google AI SDKs.
Copy this and paste it into a coding agent like Claude Code, Cursor or Codex and it'll wire up Opper for you.
