Citation Information

In the first part of this series, we laid the foundation by exploring the theoretical underpinnings of DeepSeek-V3 and implementing key configuration elements such as Rotary Position al Embeddings (RoPE) . That tutorial established how DeepSeek-V3 manages long-range dependencies and sets up its architecture for efficient scaling.…
