July 3, 2025 - Training DeepSeek-R1-Zero using only RL in post-training, without SFT · The paper we’re reviewing today eliminates, or partially eliminates, the supervised fine-tuning stage. Specifically, to train DeepSeek-R1-Zero, the first model presented in the paper, we start with a pretrained model called DeepSeek-V3-Base, which has 671 billion parameters.

September 17, 2025 - This design choice originates from our hypothesis that human-defined reasoning patterns may limit model exploration, whereas unrestricted RL training can better incentivize the emergence of new reasoning capabilities in LLMs. Through this process, detailed in the next section, our model (referred to as DeepSeek-R1-Zero) naturally developed diverse and sophisticated reasoning behaviours.

DeepSeeks’s own reported benchmark scores also show strong agreement between R1-Zero and R1, eg. on MATH AIME 2024 scores are 71% and 76% respectively (up from ~40% on the base DeepSeek V3). In the paper, R1-Zero authors say “DeepSeek-R1-Zero encounters challenges such as poor readability, ...

R1-Zero on the AIME 2024 benchmark throughout the RL training process. As illustrated, DeepSeek-R1-Zero demonstrates a steady and consistent enhancement in performance as the

DeepSeek-R1-Zero and DeepSeek-R1 utilize reinforcement learning and multi-stage training to enhance reasoning capabilities, with DeepSeek-R1 achieving performance comparable to OpenAI-o1-1217.

The result was R1, a model that not only keeps the reasoning power of R1-Zero but significantly improves accuracy, readability, and coherence. Unlike V3, which is optimized for general tasks, R1 is a true reasoning model. That means it doesn’t just give you an answer; it explains how it got there. Before responding, R1 generates a step-by-step chain of thought, making it especially useful for: ... According to the DeepSeek-R1 paper re-published in Nature and its supplementary information, R1’s training cost was the equivalent of just US$294K primarily on NVIDIA H800 chips.

January 31, 2025 - The paper explores a new way to improve reasoning using pure reinforcement learning (RL) — meaning no supervised data (human-labeled examples). Instead, the model learns by itself through an RL framework called GRPO (we will discuss this in ...

Aside from creating 2 highly performant models that are on par with OpenAI’s o1 model, the paper has a lot of valuable information around reinforcement learning, chain of thought reasoning, prompt engineering with reasoning models, and more. We’ll start by focusing on the training process of DeepSeek-R1-Zero, which uniquely relied solely on reinforcement learning, instead of traditional supervised learning.

February 12, 2025 - While I think this is an interesting hypothesis, I'm skeptical. You might be lowering the cost of your training corpus by a few million dollars, but I highly doubt you are getting novel, high quality data · We are currently in a world where SOTA base model seems to be capped at around GPT4o levels.
