DeepSeek open-sourced DeepSeek-R1, an LLM fine-tuned with reinforcement learning (RL) to improve reasoning ability. DeepSeek-R1 attains results on par with OpenAI’s o1 model on numerous standards, consisting of MATH-500 and SWE-bench.

DeepSeek-R1 is based on DeepSeek-V3, a mix of professionals (MoE) design just recently open-sourced by DeepSeek. This base design is fine-tuned using Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), a reasoning-oriented variation of RL. The research group likewise carried out knowledge distillation from DeepSeek-R1 to open-source Qwen and Llama models and launched several versions of each
