DeepSeek R1 0528 Qwen3 8B GGUF

Original model: DeepSeek-R1-0528-Qwen3-8B

Model creator: DeepSeek AI

We distilled the chain-of-thought from DeepSeek-R1-0528 to post-train Qwen3 8B Base, obtaining DeepSeek-R1-0528-Qwen3-8B. This model achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance among open-source models on the AIME 2024, surpassing Qwen3 8B by +10.0% and matching the performance of Qwen3-235B-thinking. We believe that the chain-of-thought from DeepSeek-R1-0528 will hold significant importance for both academic research on reasoning models and industrial development focused on small-scale models.

This repo contains GGUF format model files for DeepSeek AI's DeepSeek R1 0528 Qwen3 8B.

What is GGUF?

GGUF is a file format for representing AI models. It is the third version of the format, introduced by the llama.cpp team on August 21st 2023.

Converted with llama.cpp build b5536 (revision 2b13162), using autogguf-rs.

Prompt template: DeepSeek R1

Notes from DeepSeek on Running Locally

Compared to previous versions of DeepSeek-R1, the usage recommendations for DeepSeek-R1-0528 have the following changes:

System prompt is supported now.

It is not required to add <think>\n at the beginning of the output to force the model into thinking pattern.

The model architecture of DeepSeek-R1-0528-Qwen3-8B is identical to that of Qwen3-8B, but it shares the same tokenizer configuration as DeepSeek-R1-0528.
