Parameters
4,194,304 parameters per instance, across its learned components
| Component | Calculation | Parameters |
|---|---|---|
| Value up-projection | 4,194,304 | |
| Per-instance total | 4,194,304 | |
Across 1 independent dense blocks: parameters.
Derived from the pinned configuration and implementation, and equal to the count of the checkpoint’s tensors read from its safetensors headers (FP8 block scales and stored rotary buffers excluded).
Explanation
When decoding, this implementation caches the rebuilt values (modeling_deepseek.py 810–814).

Direct evidence
MLA owns a query down-projection, query RMSNorm and up-projection, a joint key–value down-projection that also emits the shared rotary key, a latent RMSNorm, a key–value up-projection and an output projection.

The rotary parts are rotated; each head’s query and key join their non-rotated and rotated parts, the key’s rotated part being the shared rotary key; scores are scaled, masked by the causal mask, normalized and used to mix values.
