Efficient AI Training

Western AI labs typically rely on full precision 32-bit numbers, but using 8-bit FP8 can drastically reduce memory usage while maintaining sufficient accuracy for many tasks. Deepseek has revolutionized efficiency by implementing multi-token predictions and a mixture of experts model, allowing it to offer API access at a fraction of competitors' prices. With its open-source design, users can run the model on various consumer devices, sparking widespread interest and discussion across Silicon Valley.
