DeepSeek’s Small AI Model Packs a Big Punch 💥

DeepSeek, a Chinese AI lab, released a smaller, “distilled” version of its new R1 reasoning model, challenging big names like Google and Microsoft.

🚨 Breaking News:
DeepSeek’s compact R1 model, built on Alibaba’s Qwen3-8B, outperforms Google Gemini 2.5 Flash on tough math tests and nearly matches Microsoft’s Phi 4.

⚡ Wire Simplified:

• Smaller AI models like DeepSeek’s use way less computer power but still do smart reasoning.

• Full-sized R1 needs dozens of big GPUs; the distilled one runs on just one GPU with less memory.

• DeepSeek fine-tuned the smaller model using text from the bigger one.

• This model is free to use commercially under MIT license, no strings attached!

• It’s already available via APIs on platforms like LM Studio for developers to use.

✔️ Straight to the Point:
DeepSeek proves small AI can be mighty, making powerful tech accessible without breaking the bank on hardware.
