DeepSeek: DeepSeek R1 Zero

DeepSeek-R1-Zero is a model trained via large-scale reinforcement learning (RL) without supervised fine-tuning (SFT) as a preliminary step. It's 671B parameters in size, with 37B active in an inference pass.

It demonstrates remarkable performance on reasoning. With RL, DeepSeek-R1-Zero naturally emerged with numerous powerful and interesting reasoning behaviors.

DeepSeek-R1-Zero encounters challenges such as endless repetition, poor readability, and language mixing. See [DeepSeek R1](/deepseek/deepseek-r1) for the SFT model.
