DeepSeek-R1: The Game-Changing Open-Source AI Model

What is DeepSeek-R1?
DeepSeek-R1 is a powerful reasoning-focused AI model developed in China, leveraging reinforcement learning instead of traditional supervised fine-tuning. Unlike conventional models, it actively "thinks" through responses, improving depth and accuracy over time—similar to how autonomous vehicles learn to drive or robots learn to walk. With distilled versions available, anyone can run it locally on their own machine.

Why is DeepSeek-R1 Better than ChatGPT?
On-par performance with premium models like OpenAI’s GPT-4o (O1), but completely free
Open-source and offline-capable—run it locally on your PC
Transparent reasoning—DeepSeek shows its thought process, unlike O1
Less prompt engineering needed—it finds the best answers through logical reasoning
27x cheaper API pricing than OpenAI, making it ideal for AI-powered applications

Limitations of DeepSeek-R1
Data privacy concerns – Queries are stored in PRC servers
Censorship – Certain topics are restricted
Not the best for creative writing
