- R · What Makes It Special
- DeepSeek-R1, DeepSeek's first-generation open reasoning model (MIT license), built on the 671B-parameter DeepSeek-V3-Base: where its sibling DeepSeek-R1-Zero learned to reason through reinforcement learning alone, R1 adds cold-start data before large-scale RL to fix repetition, readability and language mixing, and DeepSeek says it matches OpenAI o1 on math, code and reasoning. It came with six distilled models (1.5B to 70B) and launched on the API at $0.55/$2.19 per million tokens.
