While the DeepSeek AI is available on iPhone, Android, and the web, you should run it locally on Mac and PC for free - here's how to do it.

DeepSeek R1 is now available on Perplexity to support deep web research. There's a new Pro Search reasoning mode selector, along with OpenAI o1, with transparent chain of thought into model's reasoning. We're increasing the number of daily uses for both free and paid as add more… pic.twitter.com/KIJWpPPJVN

Computer scientist and AI expert Andrew Ng didn't explicitly mention the significance of R1 being an open source model, but highlighted how the DeepSeek disruption is a boon for developers, since it allows access that is otherwise gatekept by Big Tech.

A security report shows that DeepSeek R1 can generate more harmful content than other AI models without any jailbreaks.

Microsoft confirmed it will bring the DeepSeek R1 model to Azure cloud and GitHub in a move that it hopes will lessen its reliance on OpenAI's models.

Microsoft has moved surprisingly quickly to bring R1 to its Azure customers.

Microsoft MSFT.O has made Chinese startup DeepSeek's R1 artificial intelligence model available on its Azure cloud computing platform and GitHub tool for developers, the U.S. company said on Wednesday.

Microsoft has added DeepSeek R1 to its Azure AI Foundry and GitHub model catalog, enhancing its collection of over 1,800 AI models. The model aims to improve AI reasoning and streamline development with tools for quick experimentation and security assessments.

Despite the controversy surrounding the Chinese open-source model, it has received the blessing of US companies that say their versions of it are safer and feature less censorship.

Medium Microsoft said on Wednesday that the R1 artificial intelligence model from Chinese firm DeepSeek is now accessible
