DeepSeek open-sourced DeepSeek-R1, an LLM fine-tuned with reinforcement learning (RL) to enhance thinking capability. DeepSeek-R1 attains outcomes on par with OpenAI’s o1 design on numerous 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 variation of RL. The research team also performed understanding distillation from DeepSeek-R1 to open-source Qwen and Llama models and released several versions of each
