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)

Pro tip: If you're wondering why your GPU just started smoking, now you know why.
