DeepSeek-R1: Bringing Advanced AI to Local PCs
The newly released DeepSeek-R1 model family is making waves in the AI community, enabling users to run powerful reasoning models on their local PCs. These models specialize in problem-solving, math, and coding—without relying on cloud services.
Supercharged Performance with RTX 50 Series
The latest NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs deliver an impressive 3,352 trillion operations per second, making them the fastest option for running DeepSeek’s distilled AI models locally.

What Are Reasoning Models?
Reasoning models focus on “thinking” and “reflecting” more deeply before solving problems. They take a human-like approach by analyzing tasks step-by-step, improving accuracy through test-time scaling—allocating more computing power to complex problems.
These models enhance the user experience by,
- Understanding and responding to user needs
- Taking actions on behalf of users
- Providing explanations for their thought process
- Helping with complex tasks like market analysis, advanced math, and debugging code
DeepSeek’s Unique Approach
DeepSeek-R1 is based on a massive 671-billion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model. MoE models divide tasks among multiple specialized experts, improving efficiency.
DeepSeek used distillation to create six smaller student models (from 1.5B to 70B parameters), inheriting reasoning skills from the large model. These smaller models offer high performance on local RTX AI PCs without compromising speed.
Peak Performance on NVIDIA RTX GPUs
The GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs, powered by fifth-generation Tensor Cores, ensure fast inference speeds for reasoning models. Built on NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture, these GPUs bring cutting-edge AI performance directly to PCs.
