High

Why high: an exact fingerprint shared with 2 models that declare the same family, without a second signal of a different kind yet.

Evidence
  • ✓ exact tokenizer signature shared with 2 models

Identity statement

DeepSeek: DeepSeek V3 is DeepSeek's model, and its measured tokenizer sits in DeepSeek's own signature group alongside its sibling models. Measured models from StepFun carry the same vocabulary, which reads as reuse of DeepSeek's tokenizer line and questions nobody's authorship; they are listed under "Shares this fingerprint" below.

The measured fingerprint

What each test string cost this model, in tokens

We sent DeepSeek: DeepSeek V3 fifty short pieces of text and recorded what each one cost it in tokens. The bars below are those costs. Two models built on the same tokenizer produce the same bars; a model built on a different one produces a different set, which is what makes this a fingerprint.
