DeepSeek-r1:7b is the 7B parameter distilled reasoning model (Qwen-based) that leverages 800K samples from the 671B DeepSeek-R1 parent, delivering top-tier performance on complex benchmarks like MATH-500 (92.8 score).

This is the DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B checkpoint: a highly capable, 7-billion-parameter model optimized for reasoning tasks. It is a powerful distillation, fine-tuned with over 800,000 samples generated by the flagship 671B DeepSeek-R1 model (Qwen-based). This process transfers advanced reasoning capabilities, resulting in state-of-the-art performance for its size class, notably achieving a 92.8 on the MATH-500 benchmark and a 55.5 on AIME 2024 (pass@1). Deployed easily via tools like Ollama, this MIT-licensed model provides accessible, commercial-use reasoning power for mathematics, coding, and complex problem-solving on consumer-grade hardware.

## Recent Public Talks and Demos

### [Completely local RAG in low code with Deepseek-r1:7b and Flowise](https://abu-dhabi.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_-yXkOv-2nKk)

With the recent evolution in small performant models, it is quite possible now to replace openai api with a locally running deepseek-r1:7b model. In this demo will showcase how you can quickly run a completely locally Hosted RAG flow retreiving data from an sql based database when prompting for data such as list the companies with highest sales last year in technology sector, the flow will extraxt the ddl, understand the schema, generate the required sql query statement and then return the results and run them through deepseek again to generate a user friendly answer in a chat experience.
