Is that website legit?
I've only ever seen https://www.deepseek.com/

And I would personally recommend downloading from HuggingFace or Ollama

R1 isn’t really runnable with a home rig. You might be able to run a distilled version of the model though!

[theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world]

Tell that to my home rig currently running the 671b model...

[pennomi@lemmy.world]

That likely is one of the distilled versions I’m talking about. R1 is 720 GB, and wouldn’t even fit into memory on a normal computer. Heck, even the 1.58-bit quant is 131GB, which is outside the range of a normal desktop PC.

But I’m sure you know what version you’re running better than I do, so I’m not going to bother guessing.

[theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world]

It's not

[thefartographer@lemm.ee]

You're absolutely right, I wasn't trying to get that in-depth, which is why I said "lightweight and optimized," instead of "when using a distilled version" because that raises more questions than it answers. But I probably overgeneralized by making it a blanket statement like that.

[pennomi@lemmy.world]

You must have a lot of memory, sounds like a lot of fun!

[dogwater@lemmy.world]

I heard people saying they could run the r1 32B model on moderate gaming hardware albeit slowly

[fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com]

Yea, comment OP needs to edit links with howany up votes that got.

[frederiknjs@lemm.ee]

32b is still distilled. The full one is 671b.

[meliante@lemmy.world]

My legion slim 5 14" can run it not too bad.

[dogwater@lemmy.world]

I know, but the fall off in performance isn't supposed to be severe

[frederiknjs@lemm.ee]

You are correct. And yes that is kinda the whole point of the distilled models.

[dogwater@lemmy.world]

I know. Lmao
