#DeepSeek R1 reasoning model

DeepSeek R1 has been released as an open-source reasoning model operating at a fraction of the cost compared to industry-leading models in the US. As a reasoning model, the R1 is capable of fact-checking itself. DeepSeek revealed that this model contains 671 billion parameters, which is massive. A Chinese AI startup, DeepSeek, has introduced an AI model that is on par with the best in the market, such as ChatGPT by OpenAI, but it was created in a shorter time and at a lower cost. Some of the big AI players like Google, OpenAI, and Meta have spent billions of dollars developing their models whereas DeepSeek was able to create an AI system with the same level of performance for $5.6 million. This is not a completely unfounded fear as there is evidence that the AI model of DeepSeek is censoring content in real-time on politically sensitive subjects.
