DeepSeek's V3/R1 Inference System: Unveiling a 545% Cost-Profit Ratio

DeepSeek Unveils Theoretical Cost-Profit Ratio of 545% for V3/R1 Inference System

In a significant disclosure, DeepSeek has revealed the theoretical cost and profit margin of its V3/R1 inference system. The company published an article titled "DeepSeek-V3/R1 Inference System Overview," which provides key insights into the system's financial aspects.

The article, published on March 1st, assumes a GPU rental cost of $2 per hour. Based on this assumption, the total daily cost for the V3/R1 inference system is estimated to be $87,072. However, if all tokens are priced according to DeepSeek R1, the theoretical total daily revenue would be $562,027.

This calculation results in a theoretical cost-profit ratio of 545%. This disclosure is a first for DeepSeek and provides valuable information for investors and industry stakeholders.
