Announcement · All DeepSeek releases

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.
