DeepSeek-VL-1.3B is an AI model developed by DeepSeek (China), first published in March 2024. It works in the multimodal, vision and language domain, on tasks such as character recognition (ocr), language modeling/generation, visual question answering and question answering.
Training it took an estimated 8.7×10²¹ FLOP of compute (estimation method: operation counting,hardware). The model has 1,300,000,000 parameters. It was trained on roughly 400M datapoints. Training ran on 128 NVIDIA A100 for about 168 hours.
Access: Open weights (restricted use). Its weights are openly available. It is built on top of DeepSeek-LLM-1.3b-base. The reference paper has 797 citations. Epoch AI rates the confidence of this record as confident.
