DeepSeek-V2: A Strong, Economical, and Efficient Mixture-of-Experts Language Model

1. Introduction

Today, we’re introducing DeepSeek-V2, a strong Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language model characterized by economical training and efficient inference. It comprises 236B total parameters, of which 21B are activated for each token. Compared with DeepSeek 67B, DeepSeek-V2 achieves stronger performance, and meanwhile saves 42.5% of training costs, reduces the KV cache by 93.3%, and boosts the maximum generation throughput to 5.76 times.

We pretrained DeepSeek-V2 on a diverse and high-quality corpus comprising 8.1 trillion tokens. This comprehensive pretraining was followed by a process of Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) and Reinforcement Learning (RL) to fully unleash the model's capabilities. The evaluation results validate the effectiveness of our approach as DeepSeek-V2 achieves remarkable performance on both standard benchmarks and open-ended generation evaluation.

2. News

  • 2024.05.16: We released the DeepSeek-V2-Lite.
  • 2024.05.06: We released the DeepSeek-V2.

Due to the constraints of HuggingFace, the open-source code currently experiences slower performance than our internal codebase when running on GPUs with Huggingface. To facilitate the efficient execution of our model, we offer a dedicated vllm solution that optimizes performance for running our model effectively.

Coding Benchmarks

We evaluate our model on LiveCodeBench (0901-0401), a benchmark designed for live coding challenges. As illustrated, DeepSeek-V2 demonstrates considerable proficiency in LiveCodeBench, achieving a Pass@1 score that surpasses several other sophisticated models. This performance highlights the model's effectiveness in tackling live coding tasks.

5. Model Architecture

DeepSeek-V2 adopts innovative architectures to guarantee economical training and efficient inference:

  • For attention, we design MLA (Multi-head Latent Attention), which utilizes low-rank key-value union compression to eliminate the bottleneck of inference-time key-value cache, thus supporting efficient inference.
  • For Feed-Forward Networks (FFNs), we adopt DeepSeekMoE architecture, a high-performance MoE architecture that enables training stronger models at lower costs.

6. Chat Website

You can chat with the DeepSeek-V2 on DeepSeek's official website: chat.deepseek.com

7. API Platform

We also provide OpenAI-Compatible API at DeepSeek Platform: platform.deepseek.com. Sign up for over millions of free tokens. And you can also pay-as-you-go at an unbeatable price.

8. How to run locally

To utilize DeepSeek-V2 in BF16 format for inference, 80GB*8 GPUs are required.

Inference with Huggingface's Transformers

You can directly employ Huggingface's Transformers for model inference.

Assistant: {assistant_message_1}<|end▁of▁sentence|>User: {user_message_2}

Assistant:

You can also add an optional system message:

<|begin▁of▁sentence|>{system_message}

User: {user_message_1}

Assistant: {assistant_message_1}<|end▁of▁sentence|>User: {user_message_2}

Inference with vLLM (recommended)

To utilize vLLM for model inference, please merge this Pull Request into your vLLM codebase: vllm-project/vllm#4650.

from transformers import AutoTokenizer
from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

max_model_len, tp_size = 8192, 8
model_name = "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V2-Chat"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
llm = LLM(model=model_name, tensor_parallel_size=tp_size, max_model_len=max_model_len, trust_remote_code=True, enforce_eager=True)
sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.3, max_tokens=256, stop_token_ids=[tokenizer.eos_token_id])

messages_list = [
    [{"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"}],
    [{"role": "user", "content": "Translate the following content into Chinese directly: DeepSeek-V2 adopts innovative architectures to guarantee economical training and efficient inference."}],
    [{"role": "user", "content": "Write a piece of quicksort code in C++."}],
]

prompt_token_ids = [tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, add_generation_prompt=True) for messages in messages_list]

outputs = llm.generate(prompt_token_ids=prompt_token_ids, sampling_params=sampling_params)

generated_text = [output.outputs[0].text for output in outputs]
print(generated_text)

LangChain Support

Since our API is compatible with OpenAI, you can easily use it in langchain. Here is an example:

from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
llm = ChatOpenAI(
    model='deepseek-chat',
    openai_api_key=<your-deepseek-api-key>,
    openai_api_base='https://api.deepseek.com/v1',
    temperature=0.85,
    max_tokens=8000)
