How deepseek-v3 is put together
This repository is the official release of DeepSeek-V3, a 671B-parameter Mixture-of-Experts language model (37B activated per token). It is primarily a model-weights and documentation distribution: the README presents the architecture (MLA attention, DeepSeekMoE, auxiliary-loss-free load balancing, multi-token prediction), benchmark results, and download links to Hugging Face. The only executable code is a minimal Python inference pipeline under inference/, which loads safetensors checkpoints and runs autoregressive generation with PyTorch/Triton kernels, including FP8-to-BF16 weight conversion utilities. There is no web service, datastore, or deployment infrastructure in the repo; data flow is checkpoint files -> weight conversion/loading -> forward pass -> generated text.
Languages
Frameworks
Major components
inference/model
Implements the DeepSeek-V3 transformer architecture (MoE layers, MLA attention) for local inference.
inference/generate
Entry-point script that drives autoregressive text generation from loaded model weights.
inference/kernel
Custom Triton/CUDA-style kernels used by the inference path.
inference/fp8_cast_bf16
Utility that casts FP8 quantized checkpoint weights to BF16.
inference/convert
Checkpoint conversion tooling for preparing model weights for inference.
inference/configs
JSON model configuration files for 16B, 236B, 671B variants and v3.1.
documentation
README.md and README_WEIGHTS.md describing the model, benchmarks, weight layout including MTP modules, and licensing.
