# DeepSeek-V3

> Reference DeepSeek-V3 checkpoint and architecture details for NeMo AutoModel, with model-family information, setup guidance, and upstream resources.

[DeepSeek-V3](https://github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3) is a large-scale Mixture-of-Experts model with 671B total parameters and 37B activated per token. It features Multi-head Latent Attention (MLA), innovative load balancing, and Multi-Token Prediction (MTP). DeepSeek-V3.2 is an updated release with further improvements.

[Moonlight](https://huggingface.co/moonshotai/Moonlight-16B-A3B) by Moonshot AI also uses this architecture with 16B total / 3B activated parameters.
