Run DeepSeek-R1 on Your Local Machine: A Step-by-Step Guide to the 671B AI Model
How Unsloth’s Breakthrough Compression Makes It Possible for Everyone Why This Matters DeepSeek-R1, a 671-billion-parameter AI model, was previously restricted to cloud APIs due to its colossal size (720GB). Thanks to Unsloth, an open-source project led by ex-NVIDIA engineers, the model is now compressed to 131GB (80% smaller) and optimized for local deployment. Whether you’re…
