DeepSeek R1 Reasoning Model
ConceptAbout
DeepSeek R1 is an open-source AI model developed by the Chinese AI lab DeepSeek. It is designed to perform complex reasoning tasks across various domains, including math, code, and language. The model leverages a combination of large-scale reinforcement learning (RL) and supervised fine-tuning (SFT) to enhance its reasoning capabilities and improve readability and coherence. This approach allows DeepSeek R1 to generate detailed reasoning steps, providing transparency into its decision-making process. DeepSeek R1 is notable for its competitive performance against major AI systems, such as OpenAI's o1, while requiring fewer resources. It utilizes a mixture of experts architecture, which optimizes performance and reduces computational costs. The model supports a maximum context length of 64,000 tokens, enabling it to handle complex tasks effectively. DeepSeek R1 is available under the MIT license, making it accessible for both research and commercial use, and includes distilled versions for broader community adoption.
