DeepSeek LLM is a family of open-source large language models (7B and 67B, Base and Chat variants) trained from scratch on 2 trillion tokens of English and Chinese text. The repository provides model weights, quick-start inference code, and evaluation details for research use.

Use cases

• run a 67B open-source chat model locally
• fine-tune a bilingual English-Chinese LLM
• benchmark open LLMs on coding and math tasks
• research training recipes for large language models
• self-host an alternative to Llama2 70B
• evaluate LLM performance on the Hungarian national exam

When to choose

• you need strong open-weight models with good Chinese language support
• you want to study or reproduce LLM training at scale
• you need a self-hosted chat model for coding and math

When to avoid

• you need a maintained production framework rather than model weights
• you lack GPU resources for 7B-67B parameter models
• you need the newest DeepSeek models (this repo is superseded by later releases)
