DeepSeek focuses on enhancing long-context understanding and reasoning capabilities. If you're trying to run **DeepSeek-R1** via **Ollama** (a tool for running LLMs locally), here's what you need to know:
Current Status
1 Ollama Support
As of now, DeepSeek-R1 is **not officially available** in Ollama's model library. Ollama primarily supports models like Llama 3, Mistral, Phi-3, and other open-source models.
- To use DeepSeek-R1 with Ollama, you would need to:
1. Convert the model to a format compatible with Ollama (e.g., GGUF).
2. Create a custom `Modelfile` to load it.
2. Accessing DeepSeek-R1
- Check if DeepSeek has released the model weights publicly (e.g., on Hugging Face). If yes, you can download and convert it for local use.
- If the model is proprietary or restricted, you may need to request access from DeepSeek directly.
Steps to Run a Custom Model in Ollama
If you have the model weights (e.g., in GGUF format), follow these steps:
1. Install Ollama
Download and install Ollama from [ollama.ai](https://ollama.ai/).
2. Create a Modelfile
Write a `Modelfile` to load the model. Example:
```Modelfile
FROM ./deepseek-r1.Q4_K_M.gguf
PARAMETER temperature 0.7
3.Build and Run
```bash
ollama create deepseek-r1 -f Modelfile
ollama run deepseek-r1
Alternatives
If DeepSeek-R1 is unavailable:
1. Use other Ollama-supported models (e.g., `llama3`, `deepseek-llm`).
2. Try the official DeepSeek API if available.
