**TLDR:** 3 critical innovations of DeepSeek-V3 in depth: (1) Multi-head Latent Attention (MLA) — attention variant reducing KV cache by %93, (2) Auxiliary-loss-free load balancing — clean gating with bias trick, (3) Multi-token prediction (MTP) — parallel prediction of 2-3 tokens in training. Mathematical anatomy of each, why they work, how they contributed to V3's $5.6M training cost. Practical use for Turkish.
