DeepSeek drops R1 AI model update on Hugging Face – and it's hefty
Chinese startup DeepSeek just slid into Hugging Face's DMs with an update to its R1 reasoning AI model. No fanfare, just weights and configs.

DeepSeek's R1 gets a sneaky upgrade

Straight outta China, DeepSeek just dropped an update to its R1 reasoning AI model on Hugging Face. No hype, no lengthy docs – just the raw files. MIT license means it's open for business, literally.
This ain't your grandma's AI model – at 685 billion parameters, it's a beast. Good luck running this on your laptop.
Remember when DeepSeek's R1 went toe-to-toe with OpenAI's models earlier this year? Yeah, that's why Uncle Sam's been side-eyeing them ever since.

The updated R1 is a 'minor' upgrade – because what's a few hundred billion parameters between friends?

  • What: DeepSeek R1 update
  • Where: Hugging Face (no party, just dropped the files)
  • Size: 685B params (bring your own data center)
  • License: MIT (make money, don't call us)
Pro tip: If you're wondering why your GPU just started smoking, now you know why.
