Microsoft brings a DeepSeek model to its cloud


Microsoft has brought one of DeepSeek's models to its cloud, and says that 'distilled' versions of the model will come to Copilot+ PCs soon.

In a blog post, Microsoft said that the version of R1 on Azure AI Foundry has “undergone rigorous red teaming and safety evaluations,” including “automated assessments of model behavior and extensive security reviews to mitigate potential risks.” According to security researchers working for Microsoft, DeepSeek may have exfiltrated a large amount of data using OpenAI’s API in the fall of 2024. But R1 is the talk of the town, and Microsoft may have been persuaded to bring it into its cloud fold while it still holds allure.
