Overview

DeepSeek developed and released the DeepSeek-R1 series, featuring multiple model sizes fine-tuned for high-performance text generation. These models are optimized for dialogue, reasoning, and information-seeking tasks, providing a balance of efficiency and accuracy while maintaining a smaller footprint compared to their original counterparts.

The DeepSeek-R1 models include distilled and full-scale variants of both Qwen and Llama architectures, catering to various applications such as customer support, conversational AI, research, and enterprise automation.

Variants

DeepSeek-R1

No	Variant	Branch	Cortex CLI command
1	DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B	1.5b	`cortex run deepseek-r1:1.5b`
2	DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B	7b	`cortex run deepseek-r1:7b`
3	DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B	8b	`cortex run deepseek-r1:8b`
4	DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-14B	14b	`cortex run deepseek-r1:14b`
5	DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B	32b	`cortex run deepseek-r1:32b`
6	DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-70B	70b	`cortex run deepseek-r1:70b`

Each branch contains a default quantized version:

Qwen-1.5B: q4-km
Qwen-7B: q4-km
Llama-8B: q4-km
Qwen-14B: q4-km
Qwen-32B: q4-km
