That design was trained in part using their unreleased R1 "reasoning" design. Today they have actually released R1 itself, in addition to an entire household of brand-new designs obtained from that base.

There's an entire lot of stuff in the new release.

DeepSeek-R1-Zero appears to be the base model. It's over 650GB in size and, like the majority of their other releases, is under a clean MIT license. DeepSeek warn that "DeepSeek-R1-Zero experiences challenges such as endless repeating, poor readability, and language blending." ... so they likewise released:

DeepSeek-R1-which "incorporates cold-start data before RL" and "attains efficiency similar to OpenAI-o1 throughout mathematics, code, and thinking jobs". That one is likewise MIT accredited, and is a comparable size.

I do not have the capability to run models bigger than about 50GB (I have an M2 with 64GB of RAM), so neither of these two models are something I can easily play with myself. That's where the brand-new distilled designs are available in.

To support the research community, we have open-sourced DeepSeek-R1-Zero, DeepSeek-R1, and larsaluarna.se six dense designs distilled from DeepSeek-R1 based on Llama and Qwen.

This is an interesting flex! They have designs based upon Qwen 2.5 (14B, 32B, wiki.die-karte-bitte.de 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 connected, which I'm uncertain is suitable with the underlying Llama license. Qwen designs are Apache certified so possibly MIT is OK?

(I likewise simply discovered the MIT license files state "Copyright (c) 2023 DeepSeek" so they may need to pay a bit more attention to how they copied those in.)

Licensing aside, these distilled models are remarkable monsters.

DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B-GGUF

Quantized variations are currently beginning to appear. So far I've tried simply among those- unsloth/DeepSeek-R 1-Distill-Llama-8B-GGUF released by Unsloth AI-and it's truly enjoyable 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 design using Ollama itself:

This downloads around 8.5 GB of model information and begins an interactive chat interface.

Once the design has been brought, LLM can talk to it as well. I prefer using LLM for experiments because it logs whatever to SQLite for later expedition.

I installed the plugin and ran it like this:

Each reaction begins with a ... pseudo-XML tag containing the chain of idea used to assist produce the reaction. For "a joke about a pelican and a walrus who run a tea room together" that began like this:

Okay, photorum.eclat-mauve.fr so I need to come up with a joke about a pelican and a walrus running a tea space together. Hmm, that's a fascinating mix. Let me think of how these 2 characters may communicate in a humorous circumstance.

First, let's consider their attributes. Pelicans are understood for their long beaks and Webbed feet, frequently seen near the beach or water. Walruses have big teeth, thick fur, and they're generally discovered in chillier environments, like icebergs or snowy locations. So, integrating these two into a tea room setting is currently an amusing image.

[...]
It then believed for 20 paragraphs before outputting the joke! Here's the complete records 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, with its big size, struggles to discover comfortable chairs, so it rests on the table by mishap, overturning the teapot. Meanwhile, the pelican, trying to help, utilizes its beak to position dishes on the table, causing a few spills.

After a series of funny accidents, the walrus searches for and states with a grin, "This isn't so fishy anymore." The pelican smirks and says, "Maybe not, but we do have a great deal of krill in our tea!"

Explanation:

- Setup: Pelican and Walrus run a not likely tea space. Their sizes lead to comedic mayhem.
