I'm using their API - the model is referenced by `deepseek-chat` and works really well. Seeing some more intelligent responses to my users inputs. Better adherence to the "spirit" of what I was trying to accomplish with the prompt. This is so exciting!

Take note of their suggested temperatures! https://api-docs.deepseek.com/quick_start/parameter_settings

What is the DeepSeek team? Who is making this?

From @kevinsxu on twitter:

Some interesting facts about DeepSeek:

- never received/sought outside funding (thus far)

- self-funded out of a hedge fund (called High-Flyer)

- entire AI team is reportedly recruited from within China, no one who's worked at a foreign company

- founder is classmates with the founder of DJI, both studied at Zhejiang University

Already available at OpenRouter: https://openrouter.ai/deepseek/deepseek-chat Cost / million tokens: Input $0.14 Output $0.28

But you can directly use it via the deepseek platform via an OpenAI-compatible API. Does OpenRouter offer any advantages?

One key, one base_url config, one billing account. If you like to mess around with many different models it's very convenient.

How is this not on the front page. It's a remarkable release.

Noticed the same thing. DeepSeek-V3 is remarkable (beats 4o/ claude), but it's not on the front page. It seems they don't want china to win haha

In the introduction of the paper it says: "Despite its excellent performance, DeepSeek-V3 requires only 2.788M H800 GPU hours for its full training. In addition, its training process is remarkably stable. Throughout the entire training process, we did not experience any irrecoverable loss spikes or perform any rollbacks." They have indeed a very strong infra team.

Do we have two completely different definitions of “infrastructure”?

Since most of my usage of LLMs is through cline or APIs now, specifically for coding assistance, and I’m not comfortable trusting my codebase or potentially leaked secrets, to a company operating under CCP supervision, I’ll stick to waiting until this forces Claude to lower their pricing on 3.5 Sonnet instead.

Yes, all of that. In addition, you can easily give the same prompt to several models at the same time to see how they respond.
