DeepSeek is leveling the playing field in AI, with the release of R1-v2 (DeepSeek-R1-0528), a significant update bringing its performance into direct competition with leading models from OpenAI and Google. The key differentiator? This powerful AI model is now accessible on personal devices. Thanks to innovative quantization techniques from Unsloth AI, the massive 671B parameter model can be run with drastically reduced memory requirements. For those with even more limited resources, a smaller, distilled version of R1-0528 is also available. The full announcement, along with resources and setup guides, can be found on Reddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/artificial/comments/1kz708h/you_can_now_run_deepseek_r1v2_on_your_local_device/
