DeepSeek V3, developed by DeepSeek, is a cutting-edge large language model with 685 billion parameters, making it one of the largest in the world. Its 687.9 GB size reflects its vast knowledge base and complexity. The model uses a Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture, featuring 256 experts, with 8 experts activated per token. This design enables efficient resource allocation, providing high scalability without sacrificing performance. In early benchmarks, DeepSeek V3 secured second place on the Aider Polyglot leaderboard with a score of 48.4%, surpassing models like Claude-3-5 and Gemini-EXP. This highlights its strength in multilingual and contextual reasoning tasks. Currently, DeepSeek V3 is accessible through chat.deepseek.com and the DeepSeek API, as part of a staged rollout. Its scale and innovation surpass even Meta AI’s Llama 3.1 (405B parameters), setting a new standard for large-scale AI models. With its robust performance and innovative architecture, DeepSeek V3 is poised to redefine expectations for efficiency and accuracy in AI-powered applications.
