DeepSeek is a research institute launched in 2023, dedicated to advancing the frontier of artificial general intelligence. The team has been very productive in a short amount of time and has publicly distributed the source code for multiple large-scale models with billions of parameters that exhibited extraordinary performance on public benchmarks and usage in real-world scenarios. Some of their achievements: Rapid development timeline – Having released several models within just six months since their establishment Comprehensive model portfolio – DeepSeek-LLM (general-purpose language models) and DeepSeek-Coder (specialized coding models) were the two types created Technical innovation – Developed DeepSeek-MoE, China's first open-source Mixture of Experts (MoE) model Superior performance – All models demonstrate better generalization capabilities as compared to the alternatives of the same class Technical foundation: Proprietary training framework Self-built intelligent computing clusters Access to tens of thousands of GPU cards for computational power Practical applications: Direct conversational interface Easy integration into existing systems through API Research and commercial usage via open-source availability They have managed to solve elemental hurdles of AI and at the same time, make these powerful models accessible to more developers by means of their open-source releases.
