Paperback. Build a DeepSeek Model from Scratch addresses a hard truth many AI engineers face today: most resources explain what large language models are, but very few show how to actually build one that scales, stays stable, and performs competitively under real-world constraints. If you've tried to move beyond toy models-only to hit walls around memory limits, training instability, slow attention, or runaway costs-this book is written for you.This book delivers a complete, production-minded blueprint for designing and training DeepSeek-class large language models from the ground up. It walks through the full lifecycle of modern LLM engineering: defining an efficient decoder-only architecture, integrating Mixture of Experts for scale, enabling long-context reasoning with efficient attention, and deploying models that can be served reliably and cost-effectively. Every design choice is explained from an engineering perspective, grounded in practices that work at billion-parameter scale.You'll learn how to move from architectural intent to operational reality-without hand-waving, fragile shortcuts, or purely academic abstractions.By the end of this book, you'll be able to: Design a DeepSeek-style LLM architecture optimized for throughput, memory, and costImplement and scale Mixture of Experts layers without load collapse or routing instabilityTrain long-context models using efficient attention and KV cache strategiesBuild streaming data pipelines that scale cleanly and remain reproducibleStabilize billion-parameter training with the right optimizers, precision, and recovery workflowsEvaluate reasoning, language, and code performance without benchmark overfittingDeploy and serve large models using quantization and modern inference patternsWritten for AI engineers, ML researchers, and systems builders, this book emphasizes practical execution over theory and replaces guesswork with tested engineering patterns. It assumes you want to build, not just experiment-and that reliability, performance, and scalability matter as much as raw capability. This item is printed on demand.

Build a DeepSeek Model from Scratch addresses a hard truth many AI engineers face today: most resources explain what large language models are, but very few show how to actually build one that scales, stays stable, and performs competitively under real-world constraints. If you’ve tried to move beyond toy models—only to hit walls around memory limits, training instability, slow attention, or runaway costs—this book is written for you.
This book delivers a complete, production-minded blueprint for designing and training DeepSeek-class large language models from the ground up. It walks through the full lifecycle of modern LLM engineering: defining an efficient decoder-only architecture, integrating Mixture of Experts for scale, enabling long-context reasoning with efficient attention, and deploying models that can be served reliably and cost-effectively. Every design choice is explained from an engineering perspective, grounded in practices that work at billion-parameter scale.
You’ll learn how to move from architectural intent to operational reality—without hand-waving, fragile shortcuts, or purely academic abstractions.
By the end of this book, you’ll be able to:
-
Design a DeepSeek-style LLM architecture optimized for throughput, memory, and cost
-
Implement and scale Mixture of Experts layers without load collapse or routing instability
-
Train long-context models using efficient attention and KV cache strategies
-
Build streaming data pipelines that scale cleanly and remain reproducible
-
Stabilize billion-parameter training with the right optimizers, precision, and recovery workflows
-
Evaluate reasoning, language, and code performance without benchmark overfitting
-
Deploy and serve large models using quantization and modern inference patterns
Written for AI engineers, ML researchers, and systems builders, this book emphasizes practical execution over theory and replaces guesswork with tested engineering patterns. It assumes you want to build, not just experiment—and that reliability, performance, and scalability matter as much as raw capability.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
