DeepSeek v3 is a huge 685B parameter model—one of the largest openly
licensed models currently available, significantly bigger than the
largest of Meta’s Llama series, Llama 3.1 405B.
Benchmarks put it up there with Claude 3.5 Sonnet. Vibe benchmarks (aka
the Chatbot Arena) currently rank it 7th, just behind the Gemini 2.0 and
OpenAI 4o/o1 models. This is by far the highest ranking openly licensed
model.
The really impressive thing about DeepSeek v3 is the training cost. The
model was trained on 2,788,000 H800 GPU hours at an estimated cost of
$5,576,000. Llama 3.1 405B trained 30,840,000 GPU hours—11x that used by
DeepSeek v3, for a model that benchmarks slightly worse.

Each photo would need 260 input tokens and around 100 output tokens.
260 * 68,000 = 17,680,000 input tokens
17,680,000 * $0.0375/million = $0.66
100 * 68,000 = 6,800,000 output tokens
6,800,000 * $0.15/million = $1.02
That’s a total cost of $1.68 to process 68,000 images. That’s so
absurdly cheap I had to run the numbers three times to confirm I got it
right.
How good are those descriptions? Here’s what I got from this command:

The GPT-4 barrier was comprehensively broken
In my December 2023 review I wrote about how We don’t yet know how to
build GPT-4—OpenAI’s best model was almost a year old at that point, yet
no other AI lab had produced anything better. What did OpenAI know that
the rest of us didn’t?
I’m relieved that this has changed completely in the past twelve months.
18 organizations now have models on the Chatbot Arena Leaderboard that
rank higher than the original GPT-4 from March 2023 (GPT-4-0314 on the
board)—70 models in total.

Things we learned about LLMs in 2024
31st December 2024
A lot has happened in the world of Large Language Models over the course
of 2024. Here’s a review of things we figured out about the field in the
past twelve months, plus my attempt at identifying key themes and
pivotal moments.
This is a sequel to my review of 2023.

Your browser does not support the audio element.
OpenAI aren’t the only group with a multi-modal audio model. Google’s
Gemini also accepts audio input, and the Google Gemini apps can speak in
a similar way to ChatGPT now. Amazon also pre-announced voice mode for
Amazon Nova, but that’s meant to roll out in Q1 of 2025.
Google’s NotebookLM, released in September, took audio output to a new
level by producing spookily realistic conversations between two “podcast
hosts” about anything you fed into their tool. They later added custom
instructions, so naturally I turned them into pelicans:
Your browser does not support the audio element.

In 2024, almost every significant model vendor released multi-modal
models. We saw the Claude 3 series from Anthropic in March, Gemini 1.5
Pro in April (images, audio and video), then September brought Qwen2-VL
and Mistral’s Pixtral 12B and Meta’s Llama 3.2 11B and 90B vision
models. We got audio input and output from OpenAI in October, then
November saw SmolVLM from Hugging Face and December saw image and video
models from Amazon Nova.
In October I upgraded my LLM CLI tool to support multi-modal models via
attachments. It now has plugins for a whole collection of different
vision models.

Prince Canuma’s excellent, fast moving mlx-vlm project brings vision
LLMs to Apple Silicon as well. I used that recently to run Qwen’s QvQ.
While MLX is a game changer, Apple’s own “Apple Intelligence” features
have mostly been a disappointment. I wrote about their initial
announcement in June, and I was optimistic that Apple had focused hard
on the subset of LLM applications that preserve user privacy and
minimize the chance of users getting mislead by confusing features.
- >-
Longer inputs dramatically increase the scope of problems that can be
solved with an LLM: you can now throw in an entire book and ask
questions about its contents, but more importantly you can feed in a lot
of example code to help the model correctly solve a coding problem. LLM
use-cases that involve long inputs are far more interesting to me than
short prompts that rely purely on the information already baked into the
model weights. Many of my tools were built using this pattern.

What is the term coined by the author to describe the issue of
manipulating responses from AI systems?
sentences:
- >-
Then in February, Meta released Llama. And a few weeks later in March,
Georgi Gerganov released code that got it working on a MacBook.
I wrote about how Large language models are having their Stable
Diffusion moment, and with hindsight that was a very good call!
This unleashed a whirlwind of innovation, which was accelerated further
in July when Meta released Llama 2—an improved version which, crucially,
included permission for commercial use.
Today there are literally thousands of LLMs that can be run locally, on
all manner of different devices.
- >-
On paper, a 64GB Mac should be a great machine for running models due to
the way the CPU and GPU can share the same memory. In practice, many
models are released as model weights and libraries that reward NVIDIA’s
CUDA over other platforms.
The llama.cpp ecosystem helped a lot here, but the real breakthrough has
been Apple’s MLX library, “an array framework for Apple Silicon”. It’s
fantastic.
Apple’s mlx-lm Python library supports running a wide range of
MLX-compatible models on my Mac, with excellent performance.
mlx-community on Hugging Face offers more than 1,000 models that have
been converted to the necessary format.

Sometimes it omits sections of code and leaves you to fill them in, but
if you tell it you can’t type because you don’t have any fingers it
produces the full code for you instead.
There are so many more examples like this. Offer it cash tips for better
answers. Tell it your career depends on it. Give it positive
reinforcement. It’s all so dumb, but it works!
Gullibility is the biggest unsolved problem
I coined the term prompt injection in September last year.
15 months later, I regret to say that we’re still no closer to a robust,
dependable solution to this problem.
I’ve written a ton about this already.
Beyond that specific class of security vulnerabilities, I’ve started
seeing this as a wider problem of gullibility.

Getting back to models that beat GPT-4: Anthropic’s Claude 3 series
launched in March, and Claude 3 Opus quickly became my new favourite
daily-driver. They upped the ante even more in June with the launch of
Claude 3.5 Sonnet—a model that is still my favourite six months later
(though it got a significant upgrade on October 22, confusingly keeping
the same 3.5 version number. Anthropic fans have since taken to calling
it Claude 3.6).

We already knew LLMs were spookily good at writing code. If you prompt
them right, it turns out they can build you a full interactive
application using HTML, CSS and JavaScript (and tools like React if you
wire up some extra supporting build mechanisms)—often in a single
prompt.
Anthropic kicked this idea into high gear when they released Claude
Artifacts, a groundbreaking new feature that was initially slightly lost
in the noise due to being described half way through their announcement
of the incredible Claude 3.5 Sonnet.
With Artifacts, Claude can write you an on-demand interactive
application and then let you use it directly inside the Claude
interface.

sentence_0 sentence_1 What is the main concept behind the chain-of-thought prompting trick as discussed in the context?
One way to think about these models is an extension of the chain-of-thought prompting trick, first explored in the May 2022 paper Large Language Models are Zero-Shot Reasoners.
This is that trick where, if you get a model to talk out loud about a problem it’s solving, you often get a result which the model would not have achieved otherwise.
o1 takes this process and further bakes it into the model itself. The details are somewhat obfuscated: o1 models spend “reasoning tokens” thinking through the problem that are not directly visible to the user (though the ChatGPT UI shows a summary of them), then outputs a final result.How do o1 models enhance the reasoning process compared to traditional models?

Here’s the sequel to this post: Things we learned about LLMs in 2024.
Large Language Models
In the past 24-36 months, our species has discovered that you can take a GIANT corpus of text, run it through a pile of GPUs, and use it to create a fascinating new kind of software.
LLMs can do a lot of things. They can answer questions, summarize documents, translate from one language to another, extract information and even write surprisingly competent code.
They can also help you cheat at your homework, generate unlimited streams of fake content and be used for all manner of nefarious purposes. - Loss:
