DeepSeek open-sourced DeepSeek-R1, an LLM
fine-tuned with support knowing (RL) to enhance thinking ability. DeepSeek-R1 attains results on par with OpenAI's o1 model on a number of benchmarks, consisting of MATH-500 and SWE-bench.
DeepSeek-R1 is based on DeepSeek-V3, a mixture of experts (MoE) model just recently open-sourced by DeepSeek. This base model is fine-tuned utilizing Group Relative
Policy Optimization (GRPO), a reasoning-oriented variant of RL. The research team also carried out knowledge distillation from DeepSeek-R1 to open-source Qwen and Llama designs and
launched a number of variations of each; these designs surpass bigger designs, including GPT-4, on mathematics and coding standards.
[DeepSeek-R1 is] the first step towards improving language model reasoning abilities using pure
support knowing (RL). Our goal is to
explore the
potential of LLMs to establish reasoning abilities without any supervised information,
concentrating on their
self-evolution through a
pure RL process...DeepSeek-R1 ... master a large range of tasks,
consisting of imaginative writing, basic question answering, modifying, summarization, and more. Additionally, DeepSeek-R1 demonstrates
exceptional efficiency on jobs needing long-context understanding, considerably outperforming DeepSeek-V3 on long-context criteria.
To establish the model, DeepSeek started with DeepSeek-V3 as a base. They first tried fine-tuning it only with RL, and without any supervised fine-tuning (SFT), producing a design called DeepSeek-R1-Zero, which they have actually likewise released. This design exhibits strong thinking efficiency, however" effective thinking behaviors, it faces several concerns. For instance, DeepSeek-R1-Zero has problem with challenges like bad readability and language blending."
To
resolve this, the group used a brief phase of SFT to avoid the "cold start" problem of RL. They collected numerous thousand examples of chain-of-thought thinking to use in SFT of DeepSeek-V3 before running RL. After the RL
procedure assembled, they then gathered more SFT data using rejection tasting, resulting in a
dataset of 800k samples. This dataset was utilized for more fine-tuning and to
produce the
distilled designs from Llama and Qwen.
DeepSeek examined their model on a variety of thinking, mathematics, and coding criteria and compared it to other models,
consisting of Claude-3.5- Sonnet, GPT-4o, and o1. DeepSeek-R1 surpassed all of them on several of the standards, consisting of AIME 2024 and MATH-500.

Within a few days of its release, the
LMArena revealed that DeepSeek-R1 was ranked # 3 general in the arena and # 1 in coding and math. It was also connected for # 1 with o1 in "Hard Prompt with Style Control" classification.
Django framework co-creator Simon Willison wrote about his try outs among the DeepSeek distilled
Llama models on his blog site:
Each reaction begins with a ... pseudo-XML tag containing the chain of idea used to help produce the response. [Given the prompt] "a joke about a pelican and a walrus who run a tea room together" ... It then thought for 20 paragraphs before outputting the joke! ... [T] he joke is awful. But the process of arriving was such an interesting insight into how these
brand-new designs work.
Andrew Ng's
newsletter The Batch discussed DeepSeek-R1:
DeepSeek is rapidly emerging as a strong contractor of open designs. Not only are these designs great entertainers, however their license permits usage of their outputs for distillation, possibly pushing forward the cutting-edge for language designs (and multimodal models) of all sizes.
The DeepSeek-R1 designs are available on HuggingFace.
