Date(s) deployed: Announced December 26, 2024 [source]
Developer
Website: https://www.deepseek.com/
Legal name: DeepSeek [source]
Entity type: Corporation [source]
Country (location of developer or first author's first affiliation): China [source]
Safety policies: What safety and/or responsibility policies are in place?: Unknown
System Components
Backend model(s): What model(s) are used to power the system?: DeepSeek-V3 [source]
Public model specification: Is there formal documentation on the system’s intend...: None
Description of reasoning, planning, and memory implementation: How does the syst...: "We introduce an innovative methodology to distill reasoning capabilities from the long-Chain-of-Thought (CoT) model, specifically from one of the DeepSeek R1 series models, into standard LLMs, particularly DeepSeek-V3. Our pipeline elegantly incorporates the verification and reflection patterns of R1 into DeepSeek-V3 and notably improves its reasoning performance. Meanwhile, we also maintain a control over the output style and length of DeepSeek-V3." [source]
Observation space: What is the system able to observe while 'thinking'?: Textual inputs from users. The DeepSpeek web chat app cannot search the web [source]
Action space/tools: What direct actions can the system take?: Natural language.
User interface: How do users interact with the system?: The DeepSpeek web chat app is a simple chat interface [source]. However, since the system is open-source, developers can interact through it with coding tools and build custom interfaces/scaffolding [source]
Development cost and compute: What is known about the development costs?: Reported to take 6 million in training compute cost [source]
