671B-parameter MoE model with 37B active per token. Trained for roughly $5.6M of compute — a landmark in cost-efficient frontier training. Frontier-class quality at a fraction of the cost of the closed proprietary frontier. The DeepSeek licence permits commercial use with limited restrictions on military and unlawful applications. Running V3 yourself requires serious hardware (8× H100 at fp8); most teams will use it via the DeepSeek API or providers like Together.
