LARRUZ breaks down DeepSeek V3, a new free model released under MIT license that matches GPT-4.5 and Sonnet 3.77 on benchmarks. Unlike the earlier R1, V3 doesn't use reasoning steps, and you can download and run it without paying for API access.

DeepSeek V3

MIT license

V3 is a "non-thinking" model; it is not the successor to R1 (which was the "thinking" model).

Deepseek has done it again. They released yet another model called DeepSeek V3 and this is a non thinking model. So this is not the successor to the R1 model. That was the thinking model. This is important. Okay, they released V3, this is their non thinking model. So something that directly competes with, let's say GPT 4.5 and again it crushes the benchmarks. Now the interesting thing about this one in particular is that they released it under MIT license, which means it's open source now. Sure, it's really a give and take on some of these benchmarks if you look a little closer into all of this. But basically it's on par with 4.5 and Sonnet 3.77 and Quinmax, which are free of the models to beat here. But this thing is open source. So yet again, just like with R1, they just put this out there. Anybody who wants can download this model, use it with their own applications, no API, no cost per usage, none of that. Just LLM that performs at the intelligence of the best models in the world, but freely available.
