DeepSeek’s AI Model Tests Limits of US Curbs on Nvidia Chips
DeepSeek-V3 Technical Report — We present DeepSeek-V3, a strong Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language model with 671B total parameters with 37B activated for each token. To achieve efficient inference and cost-effective training, DeepSeek-V3 adopts Multi-head Latent Attention (MLA) and DeepSeekMoE architectures, which were thoroughly validated in DeepSeek-V2. Furthermore, DeepSeek-V3 pioneers an auxiliary-loss-free strategy for load balancing and sets a multi-token prediction training objective for stronger performance. We pre-train DeepSeek-V3 on 14.8 trillion diverse and high-quality tokens, followed by Supervised Fine-Tuning and Reinforcement Learning stages to fully harness its capabilities. Comprehensive evaluations reveal that DeepSeek-V3 outperforms other open-source models and achieves performance comparable to leading closed-source models. Despite its excellent performance, DeepSeek-V3 requires only 2.788M H800 GPU hours for its full training. In addition, its training process is remarkably stable.

Massive Memory Leaks in System76's Cosmic Desktop (Written in "Memory Safe" Rust) - YouTube — Plus: Hyprland developer weighs in, "No, I don't think it's beta ready :P"
Reference Cycles Can Leak Memory - The Rust Programming Language — Rust’s memory safety guarantees make it difficult, but not impossible, to accidentally create memory that is never cleaned up (known as a memory leak). Preventing memory leaks entirely is not one of Rust’s guarantees, meaning memory leaks are memory safe in Rust.
Handling memory leaks in Rust - LogRocket Blog — Once in a while, you may experience memory leaks in your Rust projects due to many factors, from unsafe code to shared references, etc. Ideally, you’ll want to fix these memory leaks and ensure your programs are efficient, which may lead to performance gains and resource safety.
Memory leaks are memory safe, and there isn't much to do about it | /home/Samsai — Despite their potential for destruction, Rust considers memory leaks "memory safe" and thus doesn't aim to prevent them. Rust's design, however, makes it less easy to create memory leaks, since it uses a Resource Acquisition Is Initialization (RAII) pattern to abstract resource allocation and deallocation.

Massive Memory Leaks in System76's Cosmic Desktop (Written in "Memory Safe" Rust) - YouTube — Plus: Hyprland developer weighs in, "No, I don't think it's beta ready :P"
Reference Cycles Can Leak Memory - The Rust Programming Language — Rust’s memory safety guarantees make it difficult, but not impossible, to accidentally create memory that is never cleaned up (known as a memory leak). Preventing memory leaks entirely is not one of Rust’s guarantees, meaning memory leaks are memory safe in Rust.
Handling memory leaks in Rust - LogRocket Blog — Once in a while, you may experience memory leaks in your Rust projects due to many factors, from unsafe code to shared references, etc. Ideally, you’ll want to fix these memory leaks and ensure your programs are efficient, which may lead to performance gains and resource safety.
Memory leaks are memory safe, and there isn't much to do about it | /home/Samsai — Despite their potential for destruction, Rust considers memory leaks "memory safe" and thus doesn't aim to prevent them. Rust's design, however, makes it less easy to create memory leaks, since it uses a Resource Acquisition Is Initialization (RAII) pattern to abstract resource allocation and deallocation.
