DeepSeek V3

by DeepSeek

DeepSeek-V3 is a 671-billion-parameter open-weight Mixture-of-Experts model released in December 2024 that activates just 37 billion parameters per token for efficient inference. It pairs Multi-head Latent Attention with sparse expert routing to deliver strong reasoning, mathematics, and code generation. The model was trained on 14.8 trillion tokens for roughly 5.6 million dollars in compute, a fraction of what comparable closed models reportedly required. It supports function calling and tool use, making it a practical base for production agentic workflows. DeepSeek-V3 targets cost-conscious teams that want capable general-purpose performance without proprietary lock-in, and its architecture became the foundation for the wider V3 family of releases.

Get started

Call DeepSeek V3 through the Opper gateway with one API key. Let your coding agent set it up, or call it directly β€” Opper is drop-in compatible with the OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google AI SDKs.

Set it up with your agent

Copy this and paste it into your coding agent β€” Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and more β€” and it'll wire up Opper for you.

Or call it directly

import OpenAI from "openai";
const client = new OpenAI({
apiKey: process.env.OPPER_API_KEY,
baseURL: "https://api.opper.click/v3/compat",
});
const completion = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: "deepinfra/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }],
});
console.log(completion.choices[0].message.content);
