DeepSeek R1 update released: OpenAI ChatGPT, Google Gemini and More
DeepSeek recently unveiled an upgraded version of its AI model, the DeepSeek-R1-0528. Early tests indicate that this new model has the potential to disrupt the dominance of existing models such as ChatGPT and Gemini. The benchmark tests have shown promising results for this Chinese generative AI model, surpassing the free version of Google's Gemini chatbot and closing in on OpenAI's o3 model.
Introducing the DeepSeek-R1-0528-Qwen3-8B
Not stopping at the R1-0528 model, DeepSeek's engineers took it a step further by introducing a lightweight version called the DeepSeek-R1-0528-Qwen3-8B. This distilled version, based on Alibaba's Qwen3-8B model, claims to deliver the performance of the mainstream model while significantly reducing resource requirements.
According to a report by Techcrunch, the DeepSeek-R1-0528-Qwen3-8B model outperformed Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash model in the AIME 2025 test, demonstrating faster problem-solving capabilities for challenging mathematical queries.
Performance and Resource Efficiency
One of the most remarkable aspects of the DeepSeek-R1-0528-Qwen3-8B model is its resource efficiency. While the full-sized R1-0528 model relies on over 12 GPUs, each with a minimum of 80GB of RAM, the distilled version requires only a single GPU with as low as 40GB of RAM.
This resource-efficient approach not only sets it apart from its competition but also makes it an attractive option for academic research and small-scale industrial development projects. DeepSeek highlights that the DeepSeek-R1-0528-Qwen3-8B model is well-suited for both scenarios.
Availability and Licensing
Unlike some of its counterparts like OpenAI and Google, the DeepSeek-R1-0528-Qwen3-8B model is offered under a permissive MIT license. This means that the model can be used for commercial purposes without any restrictions, providing greater flexibility for developers and organizations.
