It's not great at super-complex tasks due to limited context, but it's quite a good "junior intern that has memorized the Internet." Local deepseek-r1 on my laptop (M1 w/64GiB RAM) can answer about any question I can throw at it... as long as it's not something on China's censored list. :)



How are you running r1 on 64mb of ram? I’m guessing you’re running a distill which is not r1


The 70b distill at 4bit quantize fits, so yes, and performance and quality seem pretty good. I can't run the gigantic one.


Ok but that’s not deepseek-r1. Lots of people keep saying this for distills and it’s getting very confusing.
