DeepSeek V3 671B (671B parameters) requires approximately 470.4 GB of VRAM with Q4_K_M quantization. As a Mixture of Experts model with 37B active parameters, it uses less memory than its total parameter count suggests. For the best balance of quality and speed, we recommend hardware with at least 541 GB of VRAM.

About this model

We present DeepSeek-V3, a strong Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language model with 671B total parameters with 37B activated for each token. To achieve efficient inference and cost-effective training, DeepSeek-V3 adopts Multi-head Latent Attention (MLA) and DeepSeekMoE architectures, which were thoroughly validated in DeepSeek-V2. Furthermore, DeepSeek-V3 pioneers an auxiliary-loss-free strategy for load balancing and sets a multi-token prediction training objective for stronger performance.
