large language models
A large language model (LLM) is a language model trained with self-supervised machine learning on a vast amount of text, designed for natural language processing tasks, especially language generation. The largest and most capable LLMs are generative pre-trained transformers (GPTs) that provide the c

DeepSeek's next model will self-train on synthetic outputs
Within the next quarter, DeepSeek will ship or describe a next-step model pipeline that relies primarily on synthetic data generated by its own prior model family. The interesting part is not just synthetic data use, but the first clearly productionized self-improvement loop from a major open-weight challenger.
