DeepSeek R1 671B (671B parameters) requires approximately 470.4 GB of VRAM with Q4_K_M quantization. As a Mixture of Experts model with 37B active parameters, it uses less memory than its total parameter count suggests. For the best balance of quality and speed, we recommend hardware with at least 541 GB of VRAM.

About this model

We introduce our first-generation reasoning models, DeepSeek-R1-Zero and DeepSeek-R1. DeepSeek-R1-Zero, a model trained via large-scale reinforcement learning (RL) without supervised fine-tuning (SFT) as a preliminary step, demonstrated remarkable performance on reasoning. With RL, DeepSeek-R1-Zero naturally emerged with numerous powerful and interesting reasoning behaviors. However, DeepSeek-R1-Zero encounters challenges such as endless repetition, poor readability, and language mixing.

  • โ€ขWe directly apply reinforcement learning (RL) to the base model without relying on supervised fine-tuning (SFT) as a preliminary step. This...
  • โ€ขWe introduce our pipeline to develop DeepSeek-R1. The pipeline incorporates two RL stages aimed at discovering improved reasoning patterns and...
