About

What DeepSeek-1210 is

1. Introduction

DeepSeek-V2.5-1210 is an upgraded version of DeepSeek-V2.5, with improvements across various capabilities:

  • Mathematical: Performance on the MATH-500 benchmark has improved from 74.8% to 82.8% .
  • Coding: Accuracy on the LiveCodebench (08.01 - 12.01) benchmark has increased from 29.2% to 34.38% .
  • Writing and Reasoning: Corresponding improvements have been observed in internal test datasets.

Additionally, the new version of the model has optimized the user experience for file upload and webpage summarization functionalities.

2. How to run locally

To utilize DeepSeek-V2.5 in BF16 format for inference, 80GB*8 GPUs are required.

Inference with Huggingface's Transformers

You can directly employ Huggingface's Transformers for model inference.

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM, GenerationConfig

model_name = "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V2.5-1210"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True)
# `max_memory` should be set based on your devices
max_memory = {i: "75GB" for i in range(8)}
# `device_map` cannot be set to `auto`
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True, device_map="sequential", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, max_memory=max_memory, attn_implementation="eager")
model.generation_config = GenerationConfig.from_pretrained(model_name)
model.generation_config.pad_token_id = model.generation_config.eos_token_id

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Write a piece of quicksort code in C++"}
]
input_tensor = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(input_tensor.to(model.device), max_new_tokens=100)

result = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][input_tensor.shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(result)

The complete chat template can be found within tokenizer_config.json located in the huggingface model repository.

Note: The chat template has been updated compared to the previous DeepSeek-V2-Chat version.

An example of chat template is as belows:

Inference with vLLM (recommended)

To utilize vLLM for model inference, please merge this Pull Request into your vLLM codebase: https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/pull/4650.

from transformers import AutoTokenizer
from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

max_model_len, tp_size = 8192, 8
model_name = "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V2.5-1210"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
llm = LLM(model=model_name, tensor_parallel_size=tp_size, max_model_len=max_model_len, trust_remote_code=True, enforce_eager=True)
sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.3, max_tokens=256, stop_token_ids=[tokenizer.eos_token_id])

messages_list = [
    [{"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"}],
    [{"role": "user", "content": "Translate the following content into Chinese directly: DeepSeek-V2 adopts innovative architectures to guarantee economical training and efficient inference."}],
    [{"role": "user", "content": "Write a piece of quicksort code in C++."}],
]

prompt_token_ids = [tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, add_generation_prompt=True) for messages in messages_list]

outputs = llm.generate(prompt_token_ids=prompt_token_ids, sampling_params=sampling_params)

generated_text = [output.outputs[0].text for output in outputs]
print(generated_text)

Function calling

Function calling allows the model to call external tools to enhance its capabilities.

Here is an example:

# Assume that `model` and `tokenizer` are loaded
model.generation_config = GenerationConfig(do_sample=False, max_new_tokens=128, eos_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id, pad_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id)

tool_system_prompt = """You are a helpful Assistant.

## Tools

### Function

You have the following functions available:

- `get_current_weather`:
```json
{
    "name": "get_current_weather",
    "description": "Get the current weather in a given location",
    "parameters": {
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {
            "location": {
                "type": "string",
                "description": "The city and state, e.g. San Francisco, CA"
            },
            "unit": {
                "type": "string",
                "enum": [
                    "celsius",
                    "fahrenheit"
                ]
            }
        },
        "required": [
            "location"
        ]
    }
}
```"""

tool_call_messages = [{"role": "system", "content": tool_system_prompt}, {"role": "user", "content": "What's the weather like in Tokyo and Paris?"}]
tool_call_inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(tool_call_messages, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors="pt")
tool_call_outputs = model.generate(tool_call_inputs.to(model.device))
# Generated text: 'functionget_current_weather\n```json\n{"location": "Tokyo"}\n```\nfunctionget_current_weather\n```json\n{"location": "Paris"}\n```'

# Mock response of calling `get_current_weather`
tool_messages = [{"role": "tool", "content": '{"location": "Tokyo", "temperature": "10", "unit": null}'}, {"role": "tool", "content": '{"location": "Paris", "temperature": "22", "unit": null}'}]
tool_inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(tool_messages, add_generation_prompt=False, return_tensors="pt")[:, 1:]
tool_inputs = torch.cat([tool_call_outputs, tool_inputs.to(model.device)], dim=1)
tool_outputs = model.generate(tool_inputs)
# Generated text: The current weather in Tokyo is 10 degrees, and in Paris, it is 22 degrees.

JSON output

You can use JSON Output Mode to ensure the model generates a valid JSON object. To active this mode, a special instruction should be appended to your system prompt.

# Assume that `model` and `tokenizer`

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys deepseek-1210 for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (deepseek-1210 below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)

$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"deepseek-1210","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'

Create an account — your API key is available in the console. 3M free tokens every 30 days with every new account.
