DeepSeek V3 processes multi-turn conversations using a 685B-parameter mixture-of-experts (MoE) architecture where only a subset of expert modules activate per token, enabling efficient inference while maintaining reasoning depth. The model routes input tokens through sparse expert selection gates, allowing it to allocate computational resources dynamically based on query complexity and context length. This approach balances response quality with inference latency across diverse conversation types.
Unique: 685B MoE architecture with dynamic expert routing enables sparse activation patterns — only relevant expert modules fire per token, reducing per-token compute vs dense models while maintaining reasoning capability through selective expert ensemble
vs alternatives: More parameter-efficient than dense 685B models (GPT-4, Claude 3.5) while maintaining comparable reasoning depth through MoE sparse routing; lower inference cost than dense equivalents with competitive latency
DeepSeek V3 generates code across multiple programming languages by leveraging its large parameter count and MoE architecture to maintain semantic understanding of code structure, dependencies, and domain-specific patterns. The model processes code context (existing files, imports, function signatures) and generates syntactically correct, contextually appropriate code completions or full implementations. It handles both imperative code generation and architectural reasoning about code organization.
Unique: MoE architecture allows selective activation of code-specific expert modules, enabling efficient handling of diverse language syntax and paradigms without full model re-evaluation; 685B parameters provide deep semantic understanding of code patterns across 40+ languages
vs alternatives: Larger parameter count than Copilot (35B) enables better architectural reasoning; API-based approach avoids IDE lock-in but trades real-time latency for flexibility and cost efficiency
DeepSeek V3 extracts structured information from unstructured text by processing natural language input and generating output conforming to specified schemas (JSON, XML, or custom formats). The model understands schema constraints and generates valid structured data without requiring fine-tuning, using prompt engineering and in-context learning to enforce format compliance. This enables reliable data extraction pipelines without custom parsing logic.
Unique: Large parameter count (685B) enables implicit understanding of complex schema constraints without explicit schema parsing; MoE routing allows selective activation of data-formatting expert modules, improving consistency for structured outputs
vs alternatives: More reliable schema compliance than smaller models (Llama 2, Mistral) due to larger capacity; faster and cheaper than fine-tuned extraction models while maintaining comparable accuracy for common schemas
DeepSeek V3 supports function calling by accepting tool/function definitions in prompts and generating structured function calls with arguments that conform to provided schemas. The model understands function signatures, parameter types, and constraints, then decides when to invoke tools and generates properly formatted invocations. This enables agentic workflows where the model acts as a decision-maker, selecting and calling external tools based on user intent.
Unique: Large parameter capacity enables understanding of complex tool semantics and multi-step reasoning about tool sequences; MoE architecture allows selective activation of tool-reasoning experts, improving decision quality without full model overhead
vs alternatives: More flexible than OpenAI's function calling (supports arbitrary schemas) but requires more explicit prompt engineering; better reasoning about tool selection than smaller models due to parameter count
DeepSeek V3 processes extended context windows (typically 64K-128K tokens) enabling analysis of long documents, codebases, or conversation histories without summarization. The model maintains semantic coherence across long sequences through attention mechanisms optimized for sparse expert routing, allowing it to reason about relationships between distant parts of the input. This supports use cases requiring holistic understanding of large documents or multi-file codebases.
Unique: MoE architecture with sparse routing enables efficient processing of long contexts — only relevant expert modules activate per position, reducing memory overhead vs dense models; 685B parameters provide semantic depth for complex document reasoning
vs alternatives: Comparable context window to Claude 3.5 (200K) but with lower inference cost through MoE sparsity; better latency than dense models on long contexts due to selective expert activation
DeepSeek V3 processes input in multiple languages (Chinese, English, and others) and maintains semantic understanding across language boundaries, enabling translation, cross-language reasoning, and multilingual conversation. The model leverages its large parameter count to encode language-specific patterns and cross-lingual semantics, allowing it to reason about concepts that may be expressed differently across languages. This supports both direct translation and semantic-preserving paraphrasing.
Unique: Large parameter count (685B) enables rich cross-lingual embeddings and semantic mapping between languages; MoE architecture allows selective activation of language-specific expert modules, improving efficiency for multilingual processing
vs alternatives: Better semantic preservation than rule-based translation systems; more cost-efficient than maintaining separate models per language due to MoE sparsity
DeepSeek V3 follows complex, multi-part instructions by decomposing tasks into subtasks, reasoning about dependencies, and executing steps in logical order. The model understands implicit task structure, identifies missing information, and asks clarifying questions when needed. This enables reliable automation of complex workflows where instruction clarity and step-by-step reasoning are critical.
Unique: Large parameter capacity enables implicit understanding of task structure and dependencies without explicit specification; MoE routing allows selective activation of reasoning experts for different task types
vs alternatives: More reliable instruction-following than smaller models due to parameter count; better task decomposition than rule-based systems through learned reasoning patterns
DeepSeek V3 generates original creative content (stories, articles, marketing copy) while adapting to specified styles, tones, and formats. The model understands narrative structure, character development, and rhetorical techniques, enabling generation of coherent, engaging content across genres. It supports style transfer where existing content can be rewritten in different voices or formats.
Unique: Large parameter count enables nuanced understanding of style, tone, and narrative structure; MoE architecture allows selective activation of creative reasoning experts, improving stylistic consistency
vs alternatives: Better narrative coherence than smaller models; more cost-efficient than hiring professional copywriters while maintaining reasonable quality for non-critical content

GLM-5 processes extended code contexts (supporting multi-file projects and large codebases) while maintaining semantic understanding of system architecture through attention mechanisms optimized for code structure. The model uses specialized tokenization for programming languages and maintains coherence across thousands of tokens of code context, enabling generation of complex features that respect existing patterns and dependencies.

Unique: Explicitly engineered for long-horizon agent workflows with architectural patterns optimized for extended reasoning chains, rather than single-turn tool calling — maintains coherence and decision quality across dozens of reasoning steps
vs alternatives: Better suited for multi-step agentic tasks than general-purpose models because reasoning and tool-use patterns are baked into the training, not bolted on via prompt engineering
