That model was trained in part utilizing their unreleased R1 "reasoning" design. Today they have actually released R1 itself, together with a whole household of new models obtained from that base.
There's a great deal of things in the new release.
DeepSeek-R1-Zero seems the base model. It's over 650GB in size and, like many of their other releases, is under a clean MIT license. DeepSeek alert that "DeepSeek-R1-Zero experiences difficulties such as endless repeating, bad readability, and language mixing." ... so they likewise released:
DeepSeek-R1-which "includes cold-start data before RL" and "attains efficiency similar to OpenAI-o1 across mathematics, code, and reasoning tasks". That a person is likewise MIT certified, and is a similar size.
I do not have the ability to run designs bigger than about 50GB (I have an M2 with 64GB of RAM), so neither of these two designs are something I can quickly have fun with myself. That's where the new distilled designs are available in.
To support the research study community, we have open-sourced DeepSeek-R1-Zero, DeepSeek-R1, and 6 thick designs distilled from DeepSeek-R1 based upon Llama and Qwen.
This is a fascinating flex! They have actually models based on Qwen 2.5 (14B, 32B, Math 1.5 B and Math 7B) and Llama 3 (Llama-3.1 8B and Llama 3.3 70B Instruct).
Weirdly those Llama models have an MIT license attached, which I'm uncertain is suitable with the underlying Llama license. Qwen designs are Apache licensed so perhaps MIT is OK?
(I likewise simply observed the MIT license files say "Copyright (c) 2023 DeepSeek" so they might need to pay a little bit more attention to how they copied those in.)
Licensing aside, these distilled models are fascinating beasts.
Running DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B-GGUF
Quantized variations are already starting to reveal up. So far I have actually tried simply one of those- unsloth/DeepSeek-R 1-Distill-Llama-8B-GGUF released by Unsloth AI-and it's actually fun to have fun with.

I'm running it using the combination of Ollama, LLM and the llm-ollama plugin.
First I fetched and ran the model using Ollama itself:

This downloads around 8.5 GB of model information and starts an interactive chat interface.
Once the model has actually been fetched, LLM can talk with it also. I prefer using LLM for experiments because it logs everything to SQLite for later expedition.
I installed the plugin and ran it like this:
Each reaction starts with a ... pseudo-XML tag containing the chain of idea used to help generate the response. For "a joke about a pelican and a walrus who run a tea room together" that started like this:
Okay, so I need to come up with a joke about a pelican and a walrus running a tea room together. Hmm, that's an interesting mix. Let me consider how these 2 characters might connect in a humorous scenario.
First, let's consider their qualities. Pelicans are known for their long beaks and Webbed feet, frequently seen near the beach or water. Walruses have huge teeth, thick fur, and they're usually found in cooler climates, like icebergs or snowy areas. So, integrating these 2 into a tea room setting is currently a funny image.
[...]
It then thought for 20 paragraphs before outputting the joke! Here's the complete transcript and here's the output at the end, after the tag:
The Joke:

A pelican and a walrus decide to open a quaint little tea room together. The walrus, genbecle.com with its huge size, struggles to discover comfortable chairs, timeoftheworld.date so it sits on the table by accident, knocking over the teapot. Meanwhile, the pelican, attempting to assist, uses its beak to position dishes on the table, triggering a few spills.
After a series of comical incidents, the walrus looks up and states with a smile, "This isn't so fishy anymore." The pelican smirks and remarks, "Maybe not, however we do have a lot of krill in our tea!"
Explanation:
- Setup: Pelican and Walrus run an unlikely tea space. Their sizes result in comedic turmoil.
- Punchline: "This isn't so fishy anymore" is a pun on the situation ending up being less unreasonable. The follow-up joke presents "krill," a play on words that ties into both marine life ("fish") and tea, making it amusing while fitting the theme.
So yeah, wiki.vst.hs-furtwangen.de the joke is terrible. But the procedure of arriving was such an intriguing insight into how these new models work.
This was a fairly small 8B design. I'm looking forward to trying out the Llama 70B variation, which isn't yet available in a GGUF I can keep up Ollama. Given the strength of Llama 3.3 70B-currently my favourite GPT-4 class model that I have actually operated on my own machine-I have high expectations.
Update 21st January 2025: I got this quantized variation of that Llama 3.3 70B R1 distilled model working like this-a 34GB download:

Can it draw a pelican?
I tried my classic Generate an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle prompt too. It did refrain from doing effectively:
It aimed to me like it got the order of the aspects incorrect, so I followed up with:
the background ended up covering the remainder of the image
It believed some more and provided me this:
Similar to the earlier joke, the chain of believed in the records was much more fascinating than completion outcome.
Other methods to try DeepSeek-R1
If you desire to try the design out without installing anything you can do so utilizing chat.deepseek.com-you'll need to develop an account (sign in with Google, use an email address or supply a Chinese +86 contact number) and after that pick the "DeepThink" choice listed below the prompt input box.
DeepSeek offer the design via their API, utilizing an OpenAI-imitating endpoint. You can access that by means of LLM by dropping this into your extra-openai-models. yaml configuration file:
Then run llm secrets set deepseek and paste in your API key, then utilize llm -m deepseek-reasoner 'timely' to run triggers.
This won't show you the thinking tokens, sadly. Those are provided by the API (example here) but LLM doesn't yet have a method to show them.
