DeepSeek-R1, an affordable AI reasoning model released by a Chinese firm, has impressed scientists worldwide with its ability to tackle mathematics and science problems. While it still faces limitations, its cost-effectiveness is a game-changer for researchers, encouraging them to utilize AI without financial worries. Many scientists are now downloading and modifying the model to suit their specific research needs. The impact is evident in the over 3 million downloads recorded within a week of its launch, representing a significant shift in how researchers engage with AI tools.
"Based on its great performance and low cost, we believe Deepseek-R1 will encourage more scientists to try LLMs in their daily research, without worrying about the cost."
"Since R1's launch on 20 January 'tons of researchers' have been investigating training their own reasoning models, based on and inspired by R1."
