Hugging Face researchers are trying to build a more open version of DeepSeek’s AI ‘reasoning’ model


A group of Hugging Face engineers, including the company's head of research, are spearheading an effort to replicate DeepSeek's R1 model.

Hugging Face head of research Leandro von Werra and several company engineers have launched Open-R1, a project that seeks to build a duplicate of R1 and open source all of its components, including the data used to train it. To build a training pipeline, the team is soliciting help from the AI and broader tech communities on Hugging Face and GitHub, where the Open-R1 project is being hosted. If the Open-R1 project is successful, AI researchers will be able to build on top of the training pipeline and work on developing the next generation of open source reasoning models, Bakouch said.
