Why DeepSeek V4 Insists on Batch Invariance—and What It Costs

DeepSeek V4 achieves ultra‑long context, complex training pipelines, and custom high‑performance kernels by enforcing batch invariance, a design that guarantees bit‑wise identical outputs across varying batch shapes but incurs lower GPU utilization, reduced small‑batch speed, and added engineering complexity.
