DeepSeek AI has released its V3-0324 endpoint, offering AI developers access to a powerful 685 billion parameter model. This new endpoint boasts lightning-fast responses and a massive 128K context window, accessible via a simple API key. The model is available without rate limiting at a cost-effective price of $0.88 per 164K output tokens, making it an attractive option for developers seeking high performance at a reasonable price.
Lambda is offering DeepSeek V3-0324 live on its Inference API, providing developers with easy access to this powerful AI model. Towards AI has published a series of articles on DeepSeek V3, including a piece on auxiliary-loss-free load balancing. The DeepSeek V3-0324 highlights includes Major Boost in Reasoning performance, 685B total parameters using a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) design, Stronger front-end development skills and Smarter tool-use capabilities.
However, DeepSeek faces competition from other AI companies, particularly China's Baidu. Baidu recently launched two new AI models, ERNIE X1 and ERNIE 4.5, aiming to compete in the global race for advanced AI. According to TheTechBasic, ERNIE X1 is designed to match DeepSeek R1 in performance but at half the price, while ERNIE 4.5 is capable of handling text, video, images, and audio with improved logic and memory skills. Baidu hopes these new models will help it regain ground against rivals.
