Instructions to use unsloth/DeepSeek-R1 with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use unsloth/DeepSeek-R1 with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="unsloth/DeepSeek-R1", trust_remote_code=True)
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("unsloth/DeepSeek-R1", trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("unsloth/DeepSeek-R1", trust_remote_code=True)
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

+- This [Llama 3.2 conversational notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/github/unslothai/notebooks/blob/main/nb/Llama3.2_(1B_and_3B)-Conversational.ipynb) is useful for ShareGPT ChatML / Vicuna templates.
+- This [text completion notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/github/unslothai/notebooks/blob/main/nb/Mistral_(7B)-Text_Completion.ipynb) is for raw text. This [DPO notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/15vttTpzzVXv_tJwEk-hIcQ0S9FcEWvwP?usp=sharing) replicates Zephyr.
+- \* Kaggle has 2x T4s, but we use 1. Due to overhead, 1x T4 is 5x faster.
+## Special Thanks
+A huge thank you to the DeepSeek team for creating and releasing these models.
