DeepSeek Launches R1-Lite-Preview, Outperforms OpenAIs o1 Model [Video]

DeepSeek, a Chinese AI research lab backed by High-Flyer Capital Management, has released the DeepSeek-R1-Lite-Preview, a reasoning AI model built to challenge OpenAI’s o1 model.

The model’s performance is reportedly on par with OpenAI’s o1-preview on rigorous benchmarks such as AIME and MATH, which test LLMs logical and mathematical reasoning skills. 

The DeepSeek-R1-Lite-Preview model introduces “chain-of-thought” reasoning, providing users with a detailed step-by-step explanation of its problem-solving process. This feature addresses a common criticism of AI models—lack of transparency—by allowing users to understand the reasoning behind the model’s conclusions. 

DeepSeek-R1-Lite-Preview reveals Inference Scaling Laws: Longer Reasoning Results in Better Performance. The company reported that the model shows steady improvements in AIME scores with increased reasoning length.

The introduction of DeepSeek-R1-Lite-Preview comes amid growing scrutiny of traditional AI scaling laws,which suggest that …
