# DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B-RKLLM

RKLLM-converted DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B language-model artifacts for Rockchip RK3576 and RK3588 NPUs.

These hardware-specific `.rkllm` files require a compatible Rockchip RKLLM runtime. They are not Transformers checkpoints and cannot be loaded directly with Transformers, llama.cpp, or Ollama.

## Base model

- Upstream model: [deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B)
- License: MIT
- Model type: LLM (text only)

## Conversion and variants

### Toolkit version

**RKLLM Toolkit: v1.3.0**

Use a file built for the exact target SoC.

| Target | Quantization | File | SHA256 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| RK3576 | W4A16-g128 | [DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B_RK3576_w4a16_g128.rkllm](RK3576/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B_RK3576_w4a16_g128.rkllm) | `e737c9aa8cfbfd0216e547ed67bc2325d5add2f8b2aa21037389e296ac3b8d80` |
| RK3576 | W8A8 | [DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B_RK3576_w8a8.rkllm](RK3576/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B_RK3576_w8a8.rkllm) | `6ceab2c6b93a8b55837ab75e4050bbce888030153c0bc83a465bd73ead44120f` |
| RK3588 | W8A8 | [DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B_RK3588_w8a8.rkllm](RK3588/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B_RK3588_w8a8.rkllm) | `d00038d619c1905ac66ab5d499019d80889d37cc1f81be491cc503e284950c2d` |

The repository also includes `DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B_data_quant.json`, used as calibration data during conversion.

## Usage

```bash
hf download HanzoHuang/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B-RKLLM \
  RK3576/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B_RK3576_w4a16_g128.rkllm \
  --local-dir DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B-RKLLM
```

Use the upstream DeepSeek R1 chat template with the RKLLM runtime. For Docker deployment, see [Hanzo-Huang/rkllm-docker](https://github.com/Hanzo-Huang/rkllm-docker).

## Limitations

These are target-specific converted artifacts. Quantization and conversion can change output quality relative to the upstream model; validate the result on your Rockchip device.
