This free Chinese AI just crushed OpenAI's $200 o1 model...

Summary by Krater

An overview of DeepSeek-R1, an open-source chain of thought reasoning model from China that rivals OpenAI o1. The video explains its performance on benchmarks, its use of direct reinforcement learning instead of supervised fine-tuning, and how to run and prompt it.

From the video

Answers: What is DeepSeek-R1 and how does it compare to OpenAI o1?

• DeepSeek-R1 reasoning model
• OpenAI o1 comparison
• Reinforcement learning in LLMs
• Chain of thought prompting
• Running open source AI models locally with Ollama

What it concludes

• DeepSeek-R1 performance on benchmarks is on par with OpenAI o1 and exceeds it in math and software engineering.
• DeepSeek-R1 uses pure reinforcement learning instead of supervised fine-tuning.
• Chain of thought models perform much better on complex problem solving like advanced math, puzzles, and coding.
