About

DeepSeek LLM 7B Chat is a 7-billion parameter large language model created by DeepSeek AI, designed primarily for conversational applications. It is trained on an extensive dataset consisting of 2 trillion tokens in both English and Chinese, enabling it to generate coherent and contextually relevant text responses. Initially developed from scratch, the model underwent additional fine-tuning with instruction data to enhance its conversational skills, thus distinguishing it from the DeepSeek LLM 7B Base model. DeepSeek also offers larger models such as the DeepSeek LLM 67B Chat.
