## Introduction
DeepSeek-V3.1 is a hybrid model that supports both thinking mode and non-thinking mode. Compared to the previous version, this upgrade brings improvements in multiple aspects:
- **Hybrid thinking mode**: One model supports both thinking mode and non-thinking mode by changing the chat template.
- **Smarter tool calling**: Through post-training optimization, the model's performance in tool usage and agent tasks has significantly improved.
- **Higher thinking efficiency**: DeepSeek-V3.1-Think achieves comparable answer quality to DeepSeek-R1-0528, while responding more quickly.
DeepSeek-V3.1 is post-trained on the top of DeepSeek-V3.1-Base, which is built upon the original V3 base checkpoint through a two-phase long context extension approach, following the methodology outlined in the original DeepSeek-V3 report. We have expanded our dataset by collecting additional long documents and substantially extending both training phases. The 32K extension phase has been increased 10-fold to 630B tokens, while the 128K extension phase has been extended by 3.3x to 209B tokens. Additionally, DeepSeek-V3.1 is trained using the UE8M0 FP8 scale data format to ensure compatibility with microscaling data formats.

## Chat Template
The details of our chat template is described in `tokenizer_config.json` and `assets/chat_template.jinja`. Here is a brief description.
### Non-Thinking
#### First-Turn
Prefix:
`<|begin▁of▁sentence|>{system prompt}<|User|>{query}<|Assistant|></think>`
With the given prefix, DeepSeek V3.1 generates responses to queries in non-thinking mode. Unlike DeepSeek V3, it introduces an additional token `</think>`.
#### Multi-Turn
Context:
`<|begin▁of▁sentence|>{system prompt}<|User|>{query}<|Assistant|></think>{response}<|end▁of▁sentence|>...<|User|>{query}<|Assistant|></think>{response}<|end▁of▁sentence|>`
Prefix:
`<|User|>{query}<|Assistant|></think>`
By concatenating the context and the prefix, we obtain the correct prompt for the query.
### Thinking
#### First-Turn
Prefix:
`<|begin▁of▁sentence|>{system prompt}<|User|>{query}<|Assistant|><think>`
The prefix of thinking mode is similar to DeepSeek-R1.
#### Multi-Turn
Context:
`<|begin▁of▁sentence|>{system prompt}<|User|>{query}<|Assistant|></think>{response}<|end▁of▁sentence|>...<|User|>{query}<|Assistant|></think>{response}<|end▁of▁sentence|>`
Prefix:
`<|User|>{query}<|Assistant|><think>`
The multi-turn template is the same with non-thinking multi-turn chat template. It means the thinking token in the last turn will be dropped but the `</think>` is retained in every turn of context.
### ToolCall
Toolcall is supported in non-thinking mode. The format is:
`<|begin▁of▁sentence|>{system prompt}\n\n{tool_description}<|User|>{query}<|Assistant|></think>` where the tool_description is
```
## Tools
You have access to the following tools:
### {tool_name1}
Description: {description}
Parameters: {json.dumps(parameters)}
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS adhere to this exact format for tool use:
<|tool▁calls▁begin|><|tool▁call▁begin|>tool_call_name<|tool▁sep|>tool_call_arguments<|tool▁call▁end|>{additional_tool_calls}<|tool▁calls▁end|>
Where:
- `tool_call_name` must be an exact match to one of the available tools
- `tool_call_arguments` must be valid JSON that strictly follows the tool's Parameters Schema
- For multiple tool calls, chain them directly without separators or spaces
```
### Code-Agent
We support various code agent frameworks. Please refer to the above toolcall format to create your own code agents. An example is shown in `assets/code_agent_trajectory.html`.
### Search-Agent
We design a specific format for searching toolcall in thinking mode, to support search agent.
For complex questions that require accessing external or up-to-date information, DeepSeek-V3.1 can leverage a user-provided search tool through a multi-turn tool-calling process.
Please refer to the `assets/search_tool_trajectory.html` and `assets/search_python_tool_trajectory.html` for the detailed template.

- SWE-bench is evaluated with our internal code agent framework.
- HLE is evaluated with the text-only subset.
### Usage Example
```python
import transformers
tokenizer = transformers.AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.1")
messages = [
{"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant"},
{"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "<think>Hmm</think>I am DeepSeek"},
{"role": "user", "content": "1+1=?"}
]
tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, thinking=True, add_generation_prompt=True)
# '<|begin▁of▁sentence|>You are a helpful assistant<|User|>Who are you?<|Assistant|></think>I am DeepSeek<|end▁of▁sentence|><|User|>1+1=?<|Assistant|><think>'
tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, thinking=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
# '<|begin▁of▁sentence|>You are a helpful assistant<|User|>Who are you?<|Assistant|></think>I am DeepSeek<|end▁of▁sentence|><|User|>1+1=?<|Assistant|></think>'
```
