DeepSeek open-sourced DeepSeek-R1, an LLM fine-tuned with reinforcement knowing (RL) to enhance thinking capability. DeepSeek-R1 attains results on par with OpenAI's o1 model on a number of benchmarks, consisting of MATH-500 and SWE-bench.

DeepSeek-R1 is based upon DeepSeek-V3, a mix of professionals (MoE) model recently open-sourced by DeepSeek. This base model is fine-tuned using Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), a reasoning-oriented variant of RL. The research team also carried out knowledge distillation from DeepSeek-R1 to open-source Qwen and Llama designs and released several variations of each
