DeepSeek open-sourced DeepSeek-R1, an LLM fine-tuned with reinforcement knowing (RL) to improve reasoning ability. DeepSeek-R1 attains results on par with OpenAI’s o1 model on several criteria, consisting of MATH-500 and .

DeepSeek-R1 is based on DeepSeek-V3, a mixture of specialists (MoE) design recently open-sourced by DeepSeek. This base design is fine-tuned using Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), a reasoning-oriented version of RL. The research group also performed knowledge distillation from DeepSeek-R1 to open-source Qwen and Llama designs and launched several versions of each
