DeepSeek-AI
Free plain-English explainer
A reinforcement-learning recipe that rewards correct answers — not pretty explanations — is rewriting how labs build multi-step intelligence.
Read free explainer →We introduce DeepSeek-R1, a reasoning model trained with large-scale reinforcement learning that achieves strong multi-step reasoning without extensive human-annotated chain-of-thought data. The model demonstrates competitive performance on mathematics, coding, and scientific reasoning benchmarks through outcome-based RL and multi-stage training.
