DeepSeek's newly launched R1 model has demonstrated superior performance compared to OpenAI's o1 in various rigorous benchmarks, particularly in mathematical and scientific tasks. However, this model's cloud-hosted version is subject to strict Chinese Internet regulations, limiting its capacity to discuss sensitive topics. Despite this moderation, there is encouragement from AI researchers like Dean Ball, who note that these models, especially smaller distilled versions, could circumvent regulatory scrutiny when run locally, ensuring advanced reasoning capabilities are widely available.
Unlike conventional LLMs, SR models, like DeepSeek's R1, take longer to produce responses, which often leads to increased performance in math and science tasks.
DeepSeek's R1 outperformed OpenAI's o1 on benchmarks, including AIME and MATH-500, though results require verification.
The DeepSeek model, while potent, will filter responses based on Chinese regulations, especially on sensitive topics like Tiananmen Square and Taiwan's autonomy.
Dean Ball emphasizes that despite potential limitations, the performance of DeepSeek's distilled models suggests powerful reasoning capabilities will remain accessible.
