Getting Started with DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B
DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen is a series of distilled large language models derived from Qwen 2.5, utilizing outputs from the larger DeepSeek-R1 model. These models are designed to be more efficient and compact while retaining strong performance, especially in reasoning tasks. The distillation process allows them to inherit the knowledge and capabilities of the larger model, making them suitable for resource-constrained environments and easier deployment. These distilled models have shown impressive results across various benchmarks, often outperforming other models of similar size.…

Lightweight and cross-platform LLM agents on Ascend 910B
The Ascend 910B is a popular alternative to the Nvidia H100 in China. While it is a powerhouse for AI training workloads, we are mostly interested in its inference performance. That is especially relevant as new Ascend NPUs are released for edge devices. Recently, Huawei generously donated 5 bare metal servers with 8x Ascend 910B each to support the GOSIM Super Agent hackathon event. Those machines are truly beasts costing well over $100k USD each.…
