DeepSeek-V3-0324 is the significant, open-source (MIT) update to DeepSeek's V3 model. It improves coding abilities nearing Claude 3.7 Sonnet, plus reasoning improvements.
DeepSeek-V3-0324 is generating a lot of buzz in the community! It's a seemingly "minor" update (just a date code), but users are reporting major improvements, especially in coding.
From the community testing results:
💻 Coding Power: Multiple users are saying its coding abilities are now close to Claude 3.7 Sonnet. That's a huge jump. 🧠 Reasoning Improvements: It seems to have gained some of the reasoning capabilities of DeepSeek-R1, even though it's not explicitly a "reasoning model." 📝 Improved creative writing compared to previous DeepSeek models. 🔓 Still fully open-source with MIT license.
This update hasn't been officially announced in detail – typical DeepSeek style – but the early reports are very promising. It looks like DeepSeek is seriously leveling up its game.
