Breaking Down DeepSeek-V4
DeepSeek has emerged as one of the most intriguing AI labs, consistently delivering competitive models at a fraction of the cost. V4 is their most ambitious release yet.
Architecture
The model uses a novel mixture-of-experts architecture with dynamic routing, achieving GPT-4 class performance while using significantly fewer active parameters per inference. This efficiency translates directly to lower API costs.
Training
DeepSeek trained V4 on a carefully curated dataset that emphasizes reasoning quality over raw scale. The result is a model that punches well above its weight class in benchmarks.
