DeepSeek has released its V4 family of open-weight large language models, featuring a 1.6 trillion parameter model and a smaller 284 billion parameter Flash MoE model. These new models claim to rival top proprietary LLMs in performance while significantly reducing inference costs. Key to this efficiency are architectural innovations like a hybrid attention mechanism and the use of lower precision datatypes (FP8 and FP4), enabling a million-token context window with substantially less memory.
