Interpretation
Model Architecture Interpretation
DeepSeek’s diverse lineup of large language models, stretching from 1.3B-parameter lightweight coders to 671B-parameter theorem-proving giants, each packs unique tricks—Mixture-of-Experts architectures that only activate a fraction of their parameters (like 21B active out of 236B total), dense decoders with massive token context lengths (from 32K up to a towering 128K for some coders or 30K for general MoE models), clever KV cache compressions (such as MLA squeezing 93.6% of the space), attention optimizations (GQA groupings, SwiGLU activations in feed-forwards), precision smartness (32-bit BF16 training, FP8 inference cutting memory by 50%), and specialized training for math, reasoning, or coding (like reinforcement learning for 7B-parameter task focus, or math models with RoPE theta 10000)—so there’s a model ready for nearly any job, whether it’s spitting out 128K token code, churning out math proofs with 14GB peak memory, or running behemoth MoE models efficiently with auxiliary-loss-free load balancing.
