DeepSeek has announced the launch of its advanced open-source AI model, DeepSeek-V2-Chat-0628, on Hugging Face. The update represents a significant advancement in AI text generation and chatbot technology. This new version secures the overall ranking of #11 according to the LMSYS Chatbot Arena Leaderboard, outperforming all other existing open-source models. It is an upgrade on DeepSeek’s previous open-source models, showcasing the company’s commitment to advancing the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and creating top-quality solutions for conversational AI applications.
The enhancements in the DeepSeek-V2-Chat-0628 model cover multiple aspects of its functionality, featuring significant improvements in various benchmark tests such as HumanEval, MATH, BBH, IFEval, Arena-Hard, and JSON Output (Internal).
The DeepSeek-V2-Chat-0628 is built with improved “system” capabilities to handle instruction-following tasks, greatly increasing the user experience. This enhancement benefits tasks such as immersive translation and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), ensuring a more intuitive and efficient interaction with the AI system.
To deploy the DeepSeek-V2-Chat-0628 model, 80GB*8 GPUs are required for inference in the BF16 format. DeepSeek recommends using Huggingface’s Transformers for model inference, which involves importing libraries and configuring the model and tokenizer.
The model significantly enhances response generation and interaction abilities with its updated chat template, with specific formatting and token settings to output more precise and relevant responses based on user inputs. It is suggested to use vLLM for model inference, as it provides a simplified method for incorporating the model into varying applications.
The DeepSeek-V2-Chat-0628 model is available under the MIT License for code repositories and falls under the Model License for the model itself. This allows commercial use of the DeepSeek-V2 series, both Base and Chat models, facilitating businesses and developers interested in incorporating advanced AI technologies into their offerings.
The DeepSeek-V2-Chat-0628 model reflects DeepSeek’s ongoing commitment to innovation in the AI sphere. Its impressive performance metrics and enhanced user experience suggest it is set to establish new standards in the field of conversational AI.
