Reinforcement learning forms the backbone of the DeepSeek-R1 series, enabling models to learn reasoning tasks through interaction with dynamic environments. Key components include:
<think>
and <answer>
tags.This reward-driven approach allows the model to iteratively improve, solving increasingly complex reasoning tasks over time.
Model distillation is another cornerstone of the DeepSeek-R1 series, enabling the transfer of knowledge from larger teacher models to smaller, more efficient models. The process involves:
This methodology ensures that even smaller models can deliver high reasoning performance, democratizing access to advanced AI capabilities.
The DeepSeek-R1 series exemplifies the transformative potential of reinforcement learning and model distillation in advancing LLMs' reasoning capabilities. By open-sourcing both the models and their distilled versions, DeepSeek is enabling the AI research community to accelerate innovation and make reasoning AI more accessible.
