Chinese AI Lab’s DeepSeek R1 LLM Outshines Competitors

DeepSeek R1 is a cutting-edge large language model (LLM) that has garnered significant attention for its performance among top-tier reasoning models.

The DeepSeek R1 LLM was developed and released by the Chinese AI lab DeepSeek on January 20, 2025. In just a few days since its launch, this model has impressed researchers with its powerful capabilities in chemistry, coding, and mathematics.

Building on the success of DeepSeek V-3, a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language model with 671 billion parameters, DeepSeek R1 adopts a similar MoE architecture. This state-of-the-art model is designed to approach problems step-by-step, mimicking human reasoning and providing advanced analytical capabilities.

AI researchers worldwide have praised DeepSeek R1 for its exceptional performance. The model has achieved remarkable results in benchmarks such as MATH-500 (Pass@1) and GPQA Diamond (Pass@1), securing a 96.3 percentile rank compared to human participants. Its ability to rival leading models, such as OpenAI o1-mini, GPT-4o, and Claude 3.5 Sonnet, has stunned and thrilled the tech community.

Currently, DeepSeek R1 comprises two versions, DeepSeek-R1-Zero and DeepSeek-R1, along with six compact distilled models. The former model version is thoroughly trained through reinforcement learning (RL) and did not undergo supervised fine-tuning. This approach has allowed DeepSeek-R1-Zero to develop robust reasoning capabilities and provide superior output for various domains.

Another standout feature of DeepSeek R1 is its cost-effectiveness. While it is not fully open-source, the model’s “open-weight” release under the MIT license allows researchers to study, modify, and build upon it easily. The R1 token pricing is substantially lower than OpenAI’s o1, positioning it as a more promising tool for advanced AI access and research.
