DeepSeek Language Model Now Available on GitHub Models

The prominent language model DeepSeek-R1 has been introduced to the GitHub Models platform, providing users with the opportunity to utilize this advanced tool at no cost during its preview phase. This model allows users to compare its performance against other existing models in the field.

GitHub Models serves as a comprehensive catalog and testing ground for artificial intelligence (AI) models, enabling developers to experiment with various AI functionalities. Currently, the platform is in a preview stage and is not intended for production use. Users can freely access the model until specific limits on requests per minute, daily requests, and tokens per request are reached.

DeepSeek-R1 is an open-source model consisting of 671 billion parameters, designed with a focus on deep learning, natural language processing, and computer vision. Users can interact with the model via the GitHub Models playground or API, allowing for direct comparisons with other leading language models, including those from OpenAI.

To understand how DeepSeek-R1 performs in relation to its peers, users can take advantage of side-by-side comparisons within the platform. All models available on GitHub Models are also listed in the GitHub Marketplace, providing users with easy access to various AI tools.

This recent introduction has garnered significant attention due to ongoing developments surrounding DeepSeek. The Chinese company has recently been at the center of controversy, having allegedly contributed to a decline in Nvidia's stock value. Furthermore, Microsoft and OpenAI are reportedly investigating DeepSeek for potential violations of OpenAI's usage policies. Despite these challenges, Microsoft has integrated DeepSeek-R1 into both its Azure platform and GitHub Models.

For further details regarding the implementation of DeepSeek-R1, users are encouraged to refer to the official blog entry associated with GitHub Models.
