DeepSeek has unveiled its v3 large language model (LLM), a significant advancement in AI. This new model was trained on an impressive 14.8 trillion tokens using 2,788,000 H800 GPU hours at a cost of approximately $5.576 million, a figure remarkably lower than other models of similar capability. DeepSeek v3's training involved both supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning, enabling it to achieve performance benchmarks comparable to Claude 3.5 Sonnet, showcasing its strong capabilities. The model is a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model with 671 billion parameters, with 37 billion activated for each token.

The release of DeepSeek v3 also includes API access, with highly competitive pricing compared to others in the market. Input is priced at $0.27 per million tokens (or $0.07 with cache hits), and output at $1.10 per million tokens. For comparison, Claude 3.5 Sonnet charges $3 per million tokens for input and $15 for output. These prices, along with its strong performance, indicate DeepSeek v3 is set to disrupt the market in terms of model quality and affordability. The model was also released as fully open-source with all associated papers and training frameworks provided to the research community.
