GitHub – Deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3

We present DeepSeek-V3, a strong Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language model with 671B total criteria with 37B activated for each token. To accomplish efficient inference and economical training, DeepSeek-V3 embraces Multi-head Latent Attention (MLA) and DeepSeekMoE architectures, which were thoroughly confirmed in DeepSeek-V2. Furthermore, DeepSeek-V3 pioneers an auxiliary-loss-free strategy for load balancing and sets a multi-token forecast training goal for stronger performance. We pre-train DeepSeek-V3 on 14.8 trillion varied and premium tokens, followed by Supervised Fine-Tuning and Reinforcement Learning phases to completely harness its capabilities. Comprehensive examinations reveal that DeepSeek-V3 exceeds other open-source models and accomplishes performance comparable to leading closed-source designs. Despite its outstanding performance, DeepSeek-V3 needs just 2.788 M H800 GPU hours for its full training. In addition, its training procedure is incredibly stable. Throughout the whole training process, we did not experience any irrecoverable loss spikes or carry out any rollbacks.

2. Model Summary

Architecture: Innovative Load Balancing Strategy and Training Objective

– On top of the effective architecture of DeepSeek-V2, we pioneer an auxiliary-loss-free method for load balancing, which reduces the efficiency degradation that emerges from motivating load balancing.
– We examine a Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) objective and prove it helpful to model performance. It can likewise be utilized for speculative decoding for reasoning velocity.

Pre-Training: Towards Ultimate Training Efficiency

– We develop an FP8 mixed accuracy training structure and, for the first time, confirm the expediency and effectiveness of FP8 training on an extremely massive model.
– Through co-design of algorithms, structures, and hardware, we get rid of the communication traffic jam in cross-node MoE training, nearly attaining full computation-communication overlap.
This substantially boosts our training effectiveness and minimizes the training expenses, allowing us to even more scale up the model size without additional overhead.
– At an economical expense of only 2.664 M H800 GPU hours, we complete the pre-training of DeepSeek-V3 on 14.8 T tokens, producing the currently strongest open-source base model. The subsequent training stages after pre-training need just 0.1 M GPU hours.

Post-Training: Knowledge Distillation from DeepSeek-R1

– We introduce an innovative approach to boil down thinking capabilities from the long-Chain-of-Thought (CoT) model, specifically from one of the DeepSeek R1 series designs, into basic LLMs, particularly DeepSeek-V3. Our pipeline elegantly includes the confirmation and reflection patterns of R1 into DeepSeek-V3 and notably improves its reasoning efficiency. Meanwhile, we likewise preserve a control over the output design and length of DeepSeek-V3.
