Instructions to use deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-14B with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-14B with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-14B")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-14B")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-14B", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

What's the chat prompt in plain text? Thanks!

check the bottom of file https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-14B/blob/main/tokenizer_config.json

the prompt can be reconstructed by removing the pseudo code parts and constructing the correct prompt for your use case

I tried something like this and it worked (note the weird character they use instead of a regular underscore):

<｜begin▁of▁sentence｜>You are a helpful assistant<｜User｜>if there are 20 persons in a room, how likely is it that two of them share the same birthday date (not considering the year)?<｜Assistant｜><｜end▁of▁sentence｜><｜Assistant｜>
