About

DeepSeek V3 is DeepSeek’s MoE language-model line: DeepSeek-V3 is a large open-source MoE model (671B total parameters, 37B activated) trained on a large high-quality token corpus and served through DeepSeek’s OpenAI-compatible API. DeepSeek-V3.1 extends the line with hybrid think and non-think inference in one model, longer context, stronger tool-use and agent-style post-training, and open weights on Hugging Face.
