DeepSeek-R1 models now available on AWS
- jazzyjackson 2y ago[Combining some of my previous comments] I've been using this with Perplexity.ai (Pro model touts 'Deepseek R1 - US Hosted') and maybe having web search shoved into the context window affects its behavior but it certainly doesn't refuse to talk about sensitive topics like June 4th [1], Taiwan [2], or the '08 Sichuan quake [3] I did notice Perplexity switched models on me once after the first message! Have to make sure the "Pro" dropdown is selected R1 each message. I've had a detailed back and forth where I pasted python tracebacks to have R1 rewrite the code and came away very impressed [4]. Unfortunately saved conversations don't retain the thought-process so you can't see how it debugged its own error where numpy and pandas weren't playing along. I got my result of 283 zip codes that cover most of the 50 states with a hundred mile radius from each zip, plus a script to draw a map of the result [5]. (Later R1 helped me write a script to crawl dealership addresses using this list of zips and a "locate dealers" JSON endpoint left open) [0] https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/deepseek-r1-models-now-available-on-aws/ https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/deepseek-r1-models-now-avai...
