With the intensifying competition in artificial intelligence, DeepSeek has released an updated version of the R1 model.

On Wednesday, DeepSeek posted in a WeChat group that the DeepSeek R1 model has completed a “small version trial upgrade”, and users are welcome to test it on the official website, APP, and mini-program (turn on in-depth thinking). The API interface and usage method remain unchanged.

The DeepSeek R1 model has been enhanced in aspects such as semantic understanding accuracy, complex logical reasoning, and long-text processing stability.

Some netizens who conducted evaluations said that they felt the model’s comprehension ability has been elevated to a new level. For example, in the part of activating parameters, the R1 can create interactive animations for demonstration, and the logic of key information is also very clear.

The programming ability has also been significantly improved. Some netizens exclaimed after the evaluation that it’s astonishing that more than 1,000 lines of code can be completed at one time without bugs.

There are also netizens who claim that the programming ability can compete with the “new programming king” Claude 4.

In March of this year, DeepSeek released the DeepSeek-V3-0324 model. This model comprehensively surpasses Claude-3.7-Sonnet and outperforms GPT-4.5 in relevant evaluation sets related to mathematics and code.

As a non-inference model without a thought chain, the DeepSeek-V3-0324 model has remarkable performance in inference tasks. According to third-party evaluations, the new version of the DeepSeek-V3 model ties with Grok-3 and ranks first among traditional dialogue models.

Meanwhile, it is extremely cost-effective. The input price is only 1/11 of Claude-3.7-Sonnet’s, which is approximately [calculate the corresponding dollar price according to the actual situation] dollars, and 1/277 of GPT-4.5’s, which is approximately [calculate the corresponding dollar price according to the actual situation] dollars. In addition, the new version is open-source and can be used for commercial purposes free of charge.
