Model card
DeepSeek R1 is a reasoning-focused model designed to compete with high-end frontier LLMs by implementing advanced reinforcement learning. Unlike standard chat models, R1 excels at complex logic, mathematics, and coding tasks by utilizing a 'chain-of-thought' process, allowing it to self-correct and iterate on its reasoning before delivering a final answer. For developers, this makes it an ideal engine for autonomous agents, complex debugging, and technical synthesis. It is released under the MIT license, offering significant flexibility for commercial integration and local deployment via open-weights, reducing reliance on proprietary APIs without sacrificing state-of-the-art performance in STEM domains.
Model files and versions
Download this model
We recommend using the ModelScope CLI or SDK. Install ModelScope first, then choose a full snapshot, single file, SDK or Git LFS workflow.
deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1Install the CLI and SDK dependency before downloading.
pip install modelscopeDownload the complete weights, configuration and model card.
modelscope download --model deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1README.md is used as an example; replace it with another repository file when needed.
modelscope download --model deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1 README.md --local_dir ./dirUseful in Python projects and automation scripts.
from modelscope import snapshot_download
model_dir = snapshot_download('deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1')Make sure Git LFS is installed correctly.
git lfs install
git clone https://www.modelscope.cn/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1.gitFetch the repository structure first, then pull large files when needed.
GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1 git clone https://www.modelscope.cn/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1.gitHow to use
- 01Step 1
