# DeepSeek-R1

> Repository contains distilled LLM models derived from Qwen and LLaMA series for various commercial uses.

DeepSeek-R1 is a code repository that houses multiple distilled versions of large language model (LLM) weights, including derivations from the Qwen-2.5 and Llama3.x series. These models are designed to support commercial use with modifications and derivative works permitted under the MIT License or respective original licenses.
