DeepSeek, a leader in the multimodal large model domain, offers a range of models from large general models with tens of billions of parameters to smaller models with tens of millions of parameters tailored for vertical applications. According to publicly available technical documentation, the versions are divided into three categories:

• Large Models (e.g., DeepSeek-XL): Over 10 billion parameters, designed for complex inference and multimodal tasks.

• Medium Models (e.g., DeepSeek-Pro): 1-5 billion parameters, suitable for enterprise-level conversations and data analysis scenarios.

• Small Models (e.g., DeepSeek-Mini): 100-500 million parameters, optimized for edge computing and lightweight deployment.
