DeepSeek surprised everyone by releasing a new AI model called DeepSeek V3-0324. Like before, this model is open-source, letting everyone use and study it freely. Users are excited because open-source models let people freely improve and build upon the technology.
What’s New with DeepSeek V3-0324?
The new DeepSeek V3-0324 is an improved update from the older DeepSeek V3, originally launched in December 2024. Early users have highlighted some exciting features:
- It contains 685 billion parameters, helping the model understand and accurately generate detailed information.
- Hosted openly on HuggingFace, a trusted and well-known platform for AI researchers and developers.
- Users have reported significant improvements in coding abilities, making it particularly useful for developers and programmers.
- Officially released on March 24, 2024, earning the name “0324” to reflect its launch date clearly.
Is DeepSeek V3-0324 the Base for DeepSeek-R2?
Many users believe this updated model may become the foundation for another upcoming model, DeepSeek-R2, which is expected to focus strongly on reasoning and logic tasks. DeepSeek-R2 is expected to launch around April or May 2024.
One user on Reddit said:
“This model solved complex reasoning problems easily, such as the ‘bouncing ball in rotating shape’ puzzle, which earlier models found difficult.”
While this is a popular theory among users, DeepSeek hasn’t officially confirmed this yet.
No Official Tests Yet
DeepSeek has not yet released any official benchmarks or performance tests for V3-0324. Users are eagerly waiting for independent tests to better understand its actual performance compared to other models.
Differences in Tone and Personality
Several users noticed noticeable changes in the model’s personality and tone:
- The model now sounds slightly more robotic and less friendly, which could affect its use for casual interactions.
- Users describe it as “too intellectual,” making casual conversations less engaging than with earlier versions.
