Memory is the weights at that precision plus 20% for the runtime and a short context; a long context needs more. Prices are the lowest on-demand hourly rates in the SAVRN Index, read Sep 18, 2026.

SAVRN's Notes on DeepSeek-Coder-V2-Lite-Instruct

Sixty-four routed experts, six active per token, is the line to read first in this coding model, because only six fire per token yet all 15.7 billion parameters must sit in memory: 37.7 GB at 16-bit for 31.4 GB of safetensors, 18.8 GB at 8-bit, 9.4 GB at 4-bit. On the cheapest Index setup, one MI300X with 192 GB at $1.85 per hour, even the full-precision copy uses a fifth of the card. DeepSeek built it on DeepseekV2ForCausalLM with a 163,840-token context.

The license field reads other and the file carries no summary, so there is no commercial-use answer to hand you; read the publisher's license text before any deployment. Also check that the only evaluation on file is a third-party MMLU-Pro result of 41.57 from EvalEval, that our Index lists no host prices per million tokens, and that the paper is arXiv:2401.06066 with a last update of 2024-07-03.

Model Card

We present DeepSeek-Coder-V2, an open-source Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) code language model that achieves performance comparable to GPT4-Turbo in code-specific tasks. Specifically, DeepSeek-Coder-V2 is further pre-trained from an intermediate checkpoint of DeepSeek-V2 with additional 6 trillion tokens. Through this continued pre-training, DeepSeek-Coder-V2 substantially enhances the coding and mathematical reasoning capabilities of DeepSeek-V2, while maintaining comparable performance in general language tasks. Compared to DeepSeek-Coder-33B, DeepSeek-Coder-V2 demonstrates significant advancements in various aspects of code-related tasks, as well as reasoning and general capabilities.…
