GitHub – Deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3
We provide DeepSeek-V3, a strong Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language model with 671B overall criteria with 37B activated for each token. To achieve efficient inference and cost-effective training, DeepSeek-V3 embraces Multi-head Latent Attention (MLA) and DeepSeekMoE architectures, which were completely validated in DeepSeek-V2. Furthermore, DeepSeek-V3 leaders an auxiliary-loss-free strategy for load balancing and sets a multi-token prediction training objective for stronger performance. We pre-train DeepSeek-V3 on 14.8 trillion diverse and top quality tokens, followed by Supervised Fine-Tuning and Reinforcement Learning phases to totally harness its capabilities. Comprehensive examinations reveal that DeepSeek-V3 exceeds other open-source designs and achieves performance comparable to leading closed-source designs. Despite its excellent efficiency, DeepSeek-V3 needs just 2.788 M H800 GPU hours for its full training. In addition, its training procedure is remarkably stable. Throughout the whole training process, we did not experience any irrecoverable loss spikes or perform any rollbacks.
2. Model Summary
Architecture: Innovative Load Balancing Strategy and Training Objective
– On top of the effective architecture of DeepSeek-V2, we leader an auxiliary-loss-free technique for load balancing, which minimizes the efficiency destruction that arises from motivating load balancing.
– We examine a Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) objective and prove it advantageous to model performance. It can also be used for speculative decoding for inference acceleration.
Pre-Training: Towards Ultimate Training Efficiency
– We design an FP8 combined precision training structure and, for the very first time, confirm the expediency and effectiveness of FP8 training on a very massive design.
– Through co-design of algorithms, structures, and hardware, we overcome the communication traffic jam in cross-node MoE training, nearly attaining complete computation-communication overlap.
This considerably improves our training performance and lowers the training expenses, allowing us to further scale up the model size without additional overhead.
– At an affordable expense of only 2.664 M H800 GPU hours, we finish 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 only 0.1 M GPU hours.
Post-Training: Knowledge Distillation from DeepSeek-R1
– We present an ingenious methodology to distill thinking capabilities from the long-Chain-of-Thought (CoT) model, specifically from among 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 especially enhances its reasoning efficiency. Meanwhile, we likewise preserve a control over the output design and length of DeepSeek-V3.
