Decision brief

DeepSeek-R1 provides a set of distilled LLMs from Qwen and LLaMA series that support commercial use.

Good fit when

  • When you need to work with pre-trained models derived specifically from the Qwen-2.5 and Llama3.x series, benefiting from their unique characteristics.
  • If your project requires models under the MIT License or Apache 2.0 for broader liberty in commercial projects without complex licensing considerations.

Avoid when

  • Avoid if you need foundational models rather than distilled versions, as DeepSeek-R1 specializes in providing smaller, more efficient models suitable for resource-constrained environments.
  • If your project is tightly regulated or requires models from a different lineage, as DeepSeek-R1 exclusively provides derivatives of Qwen and LLaMA series.
Pricing:
freemium - The repository allows for commercial use under the MIT License or respective original licenses with no explicit monetary costs outlined in the repository.
Requirements:
Min 4 GB RAM; This is a rough estimate based on common model requirements. Specific models within DeepSeek-R1 may have different resource needs.
