# 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. 

<p align="center">

<div style="display: flex; justify-content: center;">

</div>
</p>
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. Model Downloads

<div align="center">

| **Model** | **Context Length** | **Download** |
| :------------: | :------------: | :------------: |
| DeepSeek-V2   | 128k   | [🤗 HuggingFace](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V2)   |
| DeepSeek-V2-Chat (RL)   | 128k   | [🤗 HuggingFace](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V2-Chat)   |

</div>

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.

## 4. 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.

## 7. 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](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"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True)
# `max_memory` should be set based on your devices
max_memory = {i: "75GB" for i in range(8)}
# `device_map` cannot be set to `auto`
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True, device_map="sequential", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, max_memory=max_memory, attn_implementation="eager")
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-Chat"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True)
# `max_memory` should be set based on your devices
max_memory = {i: "75GB" for i in range(8)}
# `device_map` cannot be set to `auto`
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True, device_map="sequential", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, max_memory=max_memory, attn_implementation="eager")
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
<｜begin▁of▁sentence｜>User: {user_message_1}

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

Assistant:
```

You can also add an optional system message:

```bash
<｜begin▁of▁sentence｜>{system_message}

User: {user_message_1}

Assistant: {assistant_message_1}<｜end▁of▁sentence｜>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, 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)
```
