- 01:02 ↗
DeepSeek V4 features 1.6 trillion parameters and a 1-million-token context window designed to support extended agentic workflows.
- 05:11 ↗
Compressed Sparse Attention (CSA) groups token blocks to reduce sequence length and memory usage during inference.
- 07:03 ↗
Heavily Compressed Attention (HCA) applies aggressive paragraph-level compression to maintain a broad historical overview efficiently.
Workflow outlined in the video
- Review the official DeepSeek V4 documentation to understand how its hybrid attention model manages long context windows.
- Optimize large prompt sequences by leveraging compressed sparse attention principles when working with resource-constrained local LLMs.
