Comment on How to run DeepSeek R1 locally

Comments

None of these models are the real Deepseek R1 that you can access via the API or chat! The big one is a quantized version (it uses 4 bit per weight) and even that you probably cant run.

The other ones are fine-tunes of LLama 3.3 and Qwen2 which have been additionally trained on outputs of the big "Deepseek V3 + R1" model.

I'm happy people are looking into selfhosting models, but if you want to get an idea of what R1 can do, this is not a good way to do so.
