Deepseek R1 Zero — Retired model
DeepSeek-R1-Zero is a model trained via large-scale reinforcement learning (RL) without supervised fine-tuning (SFT) as a preliminary step. It's 671B parameters in size, with 37B active in an inference pass. It demonstrates remarkable performance on reasoning. With RL, DeepSeek-R1-Zero naturally emerged with numerous powerful and interesting reasoning behaviors. DeepSeek-R1-Zero encounters challenges such as endless repetition, poor readability, and language mixing. See DeepSeek R1 for the SFT model.
