DeepSeek updates its R1 reasoning AI model, releases it on Hugging Face


Chinese startup DeepSeek has released an updated version of its R1 reasoning AI model on the developer platform Hugging Face after announcing it in a WeChat message Wednesday morning.

The updated R1, which is under a permissive MIT license, meaning it can be used commercially, is a “minor” upgrade, according to DeepSeek’s WeChat announcement. (“Parameters” is synonymous with “weights.”) Without modification, the model likely can’t run on consumer-grade hardware.
