🤖 DeepSeek’s Open-Source R1 Outperforms OpenAI’s o1

DeepSeek's R1 Overtakes OpenAI’s o1, Slashes Costs by Over 90%

DeepSeek, a Chinese AI lab, has shaken the AI world with the release of DeepSeek-R1, an open-source reasoning model that rivals or even surpasses OpenAI's o1 on several key benchmarks. The best part? It costs developers just 5-10% of o1’s API price.

The Details:

• Unlike traditional GPT models, R1 adopts a reasoning approach similar to OpenAI’s o1. While it takes more time, it delivers more reliable results, especially in physics, science, and math.

• The model boasts 671 billion parameters, but smaller, "distilled" versions with as few as 1.5 billion parameters can run locally on a laptop.

• R1 outperforms o1 on several benchmarks, including AIME, MATH-500, and SWE-bench Verified.

• It’s available under an MIT license for commercial use, with a significantly lower cost—just $0.14 per million input tokens compared to o1’s $7.5.

Why It Matters:

Open-source AI has hit a major milestone by matching ChatGPT's current capabilities on critical benchmarks. The irony? It’s not OpenAI, but DeepSeek, a Chinese company, leading the charge in openly sharing their models and training methodologies.
