DeepSeek updates its R1 reasoning AI model, releases it on Hugging Face | TechCrunch
DeepSeek has released an updated version of its R1 reasoning AI model on Hugging Face.. The update is described as a “minor” improvement and is available under the permissive MIT license.. The model is huge, with 685 billion parameters, making it unsuitable for regular consumer hardware.. The Hugging Face repository includes only configuration files and weights—no detailed description.. DeepSeek’s original R1 model gained attention for rivaling OpenAI, and it has raised concerns among U.S. regulators over national security..
