Part 6/9:
The architecture of Deep Seek V3 employs a mixture of experts framework that allows various smaller models—referred to as experts—to collaborate in answering user queries. This design principle does not only lead to efficiency gains in computation but also optimizes the model's ability to adaptively activate different experts depending on the task requirements.
In addition, Deep Seek V3 underwent a process called knowledge distillation, which enhances its reasoning capabilities by incorporating methods established in previous iterations, such as Deep Seek R1. This blending of technologies helps to guide the evolution of the model to perform at higher levels.
