DeepSeek-V3: Redefining AI Efficiency and Performance DeepSeek has taken a major leap in AI innovation with the release of DeepSeek-V3, a groundbreaking 671B parameter Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model. Here are 5 key technical highlights that make it a game-changer: 1️⃣ Efficient Scaling with MoE: With only 37B parameters activated per token, DeepSeek-V3 delivers exceptional performance while keeping inference and training costs significantly low. 2️⃣ Cutting-Edge Architecture: Leveraging Multi-Head Latent Attention (MLA) and an auxiliary-loss-free load-balancing strategy, the model excels in training stability and prediction accuracy. It also adopts a novel multi-token prediction objective, setting new standards in efficiency. 3️⃣ Quantization for Efficiency: DeepSeek-V3 uses fine-grained quantization techniques to optimize computation efficiency. By combining low-precision accumulation (e.g., Tensor Cores) and scaling factors, it maximizes computational throughput without compromising precision. (Refer to the attached diagram for details.) 4️⃣ Training at Scale, Cost-Effectively: Trained on 14.8T high-quality tokens, the model required just 2.788M H800 GPU hours, costing ~$5.6M—dramatically lower than peers in its class, while maintaining top-tier quality. 5️⃣ Open-Source Accessibility: True to DeepSeek’s mission of transparency, model checkpoints are openly available, empowering researchers and developers worldwide to push the boundaries of what’s possible. DeepSeek-V3 stands as a remarkable testament to what can be achieved even amidst resource constraints. With its open-source accessibility, the model paves the way for widespread adoption, enabling providers like Bedrock and Azure to integrate it into their offerings. Looking forward to seeing how it powers cutting-edge solutions and serves diverse use cases across industries. 🚀 #deepseek #ai

We are doubling down on our focus for Physical AI applications including CA-1 with our 2025 Strategy Update. At Circus Group this year we plan to further advance our AI-software platform, scaling the mass production of the CA-1, and expanding the transformative potential of embodied systems with the introduction of next-generation Agentic AI interfaces. Doubling down on our focus on Physical AI. At CES, NVIDIA’s keynote highlighted a bold future with Physical AI, where intelligence doesn’t just compute, but acts and transforms the physical world. At Circus Group, we’re already delivering on this vision since 2021. Our technology is addressing labor shortages, driving sustainability, and empowering humanity through intelligent, adaptable automation systems starting from food-service. This year, we’re not just enhancing technology, we’re redefining how AI systems can actively shape the real world starting from food-service, our mission is clear: To create a future where technology enables efficiency, sustainability, and empowerment for seamless human-AI collaboration.

A great read for those who are trying to understand on a profound level how we’ll be affected by the incoming wave of AI, Robotics and Biotech. We’ve changed gears and are moving from data democratisation of the last few years, to increasingly democratising knowledge, adding the ability for normal citizens to put recommendation provided by AI into actions using AI. Yes there are still significant problems with inaccuracies in the AI feedback, hallucinations, challenges with bias, challenges in understanding the built models, creating sufficiently large and “correct” data sets to train a 2-trillion parameter LLM etc. but the forward trend is definitely there. The book takes a sweep at past historical waves and shows how big the impact of the next wave is likely to be. Personally, I believe we still have a way to go to get to AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) but the impact of even a "value-adding" copilot in our business software can be significant on almost every level. The author leaves us with some worrying thoughts on the challenge of containment. Each past technology wave has had a growing potential of causing increasingly more harm than the previous one, assuming it falls into the wrong hands. With containtment on AI, Robotics and Biotech, it is clear that the coming wave will need massive collaboration across people, companies and countries to be "contained" correctly but as we know, even aligning one country is hard work.
