DeepSeek V3

deepseek-v3

DeepSeek V3 is the general-purpose MoE foundation model behind the V3 family, commonly described with 671B total parameters and 37B activated parameters. Its technical reports emphasize MLA, DeepSeekMoE, efficient training, and strong general language and coding performance. In a model catalog, it should be positioned as the balanced DeepSeek chat/coding baseline rather than a specialized reasoning-only model.
