DeepSeek has introduced its reasoning model, DeepSeek-R1, which it claims outperforms OpenAI's o1 on several benchmarks. The model is available on Hugging Face under an MIT license, allowing for unrestricted commercial use. DeepSeek asserts that R1 excels in areas such as AIME, MATH-500, and SWE-bench Verified, showcasing its capabilities in fact-checking and problem-solving.
R1 features a staggering 671 billion parameters, indicating its advanced problem-solving abilities, with smaller distilled versions also available for broader accessibility. However, being a Chinese model, R1 is subject to regulatory scrutiny, limiting its responses on sensitive topics. The introduction of R1 comes amid heightened export restrictions on AI technologies for Chinese companies, raising concerns about the competitive landscape in AI development.
