This is exciting. Is there a free version of DeepSeek R1 that's completely US based, so we're not sending data to China? I guess you can use this to deploy it, but I'm asking for an application that would be safer to use if you're concerned about Chinese influence.

#12This is bizarre to see the entire AI hype cycle speedrun all over on just DeepSeek. I'm trying to square the excitement over DeepSeek with its good -but not dominant- performance in evals.
For me the excitement is that around the o3 announcement I had a feeling like we were heading to an OpenAI / Sam Altman controlled dystopia. This resets that - you can run the model yourself, you can modify it yourself, it's essentially on par with the best public models, and it gives hope that the smaller players have a fighting chance going forward. They also published their innovations bringing back some of the feeling of open science that used to be in ML research but which mostly went away.

#13I don't understand the hype because I'm out of the loop. Is the only advantage the lower hardware requirements, thus cost? Is there something I'm missing?
Yeah it's a lot more efficient, it's also a very advanced model that answers questions in a multi-step way, like OpenAI-O1, it performs extremely well.

It's also open source

OpenAI o1 and Deepseek r1 have similar performance (o1 is a bit better at reasoning though you can see r1’s though process which you could argue trumps the competition).
OpenAI o1 api cost: $60/million output tokens. Deepseek r1 api cost: $2.19/million output tokens.

So basically I can get a ~lifetime supply of r1 tokens for… $20?

IMO more anti hype for openAI who might be dominant, but are they $3500 per task (O3 high) dominant, or $200 per month dominant.
