# DeepSeek-V2: A Strong, Economical, and Efficient Mixture-of-Experts Language Model ## 1. Introduction Last week, the release and buzz around DeepSeek-V2 have ignited widespread interest in MLA (Multi-head Latent Attention)! Many in the community suggested open-sourcing a smaller MoE model for in-depth research. And now DeepSeek-V2-Lite comes out: - 16B total params, 2.4B active params, scratch training with 5.7T tokens - Outperforms 7B dense and 16B MoE on many English & Chinese benchmarks - Deployable on single 40G GPU, fine-tunable on 8x80G GPUs DeepSeek-V2, a strong Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language model characterized by economical training and efficient inference. DeepSeek-V2 adopts innovative architectures including Multi-head Latent Attention (MLA) and DeepSeekMoE. MLA guarantees efficient inference through significantly compressing the Key-Value (KV) cache into a latent vector, while DeepSeekMoE enables training strong models at an economical cost through sparse computation. ## 2. News - 2024.05.16: We released the DeepSeek-V2-Lite. - 2024.05.06: We released the DeepSeek-V2. ## 3. Model Downloads With DeepSeek-V2, we are open-sourcing base and chat models across two sizes:
| **Model** | **#Total Params** | **#Activated Params** | **Context Length** | **Download** | | :------------: | :------------: | :------------: | :------------: | :------------: | | DeepSeek-V2-Lite | 16B | 2.4B | 32k | [šŸ¤— HuggingFace](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V2-Lite) | | DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat (SFT) | 16B | 2.4B | 32k | [šŸ¤— HuggingFace](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat) | | DeepSeek-V2 | 236B | 21B | 128k | [šŸ¤— HuggingFace](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V2) | | DeepSeek-V2-Chat (RL) | 236B | 21B | 128k | [šŸ¤— HuggingFace](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V2-Chat) |
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. ## 4.

## 5. Model Architecture DeepSeek-V2 adopts innovative architectures to guarantee economical training and efficient inferenceļ¼š - 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.

DeepSeek-V2-Lite has 27 layers and a hidden dimension of 2048. It also employs MLA and has 16 attention heads, where each head has a dimension of 128. Its KV compression dimension is 512, but slightly different from DeepSeek-V2, it does not compress the queries. For the decoupled queries and key, it has a per-head dimension of 64. DeepSeek-V2-Lite also employs DeepSeekMoE, and all FFNs except for the first layer are replaced with MoE layers. Each MoE layer consists of 2 shared experts and 64 routed experts, where the intermediate hidden dimension of each expert is 1408. Among the routed experts, 6 experts will be activated for each token. Under this configuration, DeepSeek-V2-Lite comprises 15.7B total parameters, of which 2.4B are activated for each token. ## 6. Training Details DeepSeek-V2-Lite is also trained from scratch on the same pre-training corpus of DeepSeek-V2, which is not polluted by any SFT data. It uses the AdamW optimizer with hyper-parameters set to $\beta_1=0.9$, $\beta_2=0.95$, and $\mathrm{weight_decay}=0.1$. The learning rate is scheduled using a warmup-and-step-decay strategy. Initially, the learning rate linearly increases from 0 to the maximum value during the first 2K steps. Subsequently, the learning rate is multiplied by 0.316 after training about 80% of tokens, and again by 0.316 after training about 90% of tokens. The maximum learning rate is set to $4.2 \times 10^{-4}$, and the gradient clipping norm is set to 1.0. We do not employ the batch size scheduling strategy for it, and it is trained with a constant batch size of 4608 sequences. During pre-training, we set the maximum sequence length to 4K, and train DeepSeek-V2-Lite on 5.7T tokens. We leverage pipeline parallelism to deploy different layers of it on different devices, but for each layer, all experts will be deployed on the same device. Therefore, we only employ a small expert-level balance loss with $\alpha_{1}=0.001$, and do not employ device-level balance loss and communication balance loss for it. After pre-training, we also perform long-context extension, SFT for DeepSeek-V2-Lite and get a chat model called DeepSeek-V2-Lite Chat. ## 7. How to run locally **To utilize DeepSeek-V2-Lite in BF16 format for inference, 40GB*1 GPU is required.** ### Inference with Huggingface's Transformers You can directly employ [Huggingface's Transformers](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers) for model inference. #### Text Completion ```python import torch from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM, GenerationConfig model_name = "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V2-Lite" tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True) model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16).cuda() model.generation_config = GenerationConfig.from_pretrained(model_name) model.generation_config.pad_token_id = model.generation_config.eos_token_id text = "An attention function can be described as mapping a query and a set of key-value pairs to an output, where the query, keys, values, and output are all vectors. The output is" inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt") outputs = model.generate(**inputs.to(model.device), max_new_tokens=100) result = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True) print(result) ``` #### Chat Completion ```python import torch from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM, GenerationConfig model_name = "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V2-Lite-Chat" tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True) model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16).cuda() model.generation_config = GenerationConfig.from_pretrained(model_name) model.generation_config.pad_token_id = model.generation_config.eos_token_id messages = [ {"role": "user", "content": "Write a piece of quicksort code in C++"} ] input_tensor = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors="pt") outputs = model.generate(input_tensor.to(model.device), max_new_tokens=100) result = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][input_tensor.shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True) print(result) ``` The complete chat template can be found within `tokenizer_config.json` located in the huggingface model repository. An example of chat template is as belows: ```bash <ļ½œbeginā–ofā–sentenceļ½œ>User: {user_message_1} Assistant: {assistant_message_1}<ļ½œendā–ofā–sentenceļ½œ>User: {user_message_2} Assistant: ``` You can also add an optional system message: ```bash <ļ½œbeginā–ofā–sentenceļ½œ>{system_message} User: {user_message_1} Assistant: {assistant_message_1}<ļ½œendā–ofā–sentenceļ½œ>User: {user_message_2} Assistant: ``` ### Inference with vLLM (recommended) To utilize [vLLM](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm) for model inference, please merge this Pull Request into your vLLM codebase: https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/pull/4650. ```python from transformers import AutoTokenizer from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams max_model_len, tp_size = 8192, 1 model_name = "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V2-Lite-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](https://www.langchain.com/).
