DeepSeek-V2 is a strong, economical Mixture-of-Experts language model released with open weights, inference code, and evaluation tooling. The repository provides model downloads, architecture details, and API access for the 236B-parameter MoE model family.

Use cases

• run a large mixture-of-experts language model locally
• download open weights for a strong open-source LLM
• serve a cost-efficient MoE chat model via API
• evaluate DeepSeek-V2 on benchmarks
• fine-tune or build on an open MoE base model

When to choose

• you need an open-weights, high-capability MoE LLM with efficient inference
• you want to self-host a strong chat model on GPU infrastructure
• you're researching mixture-of-experts architectures

When to avoid

• you need a small model that runs on consumer hardware without large GPU memory
• you only want a hosted API without managing model weights
• you need a permissively licensed model for commercial redistribution without checking the model license
