 | On April 14, 2025, OpenAI released [GPT-4.1](https://openai.com/index/gpt-4-1/) — a model touted as the new state-of-the-art, outperforming GPT-4o on all major benchmarks. As always, I like to evaluate new LLMs on simple tasks like text classification and summarization to see how they compare with current leading models. In this article, I … |
| | In a [previous article](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/computer-science/tutorials/543028/text-classification-and-summarization-with-deepseek-r1-distill-llama-70b), I presented a comparison of [DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-70b](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-70B) with the [DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B) for text classification and summarization. Both these models are distilled versions of the original DeepSeek R1 model. Recently, I wanted to try the original version of the DeepSeek R1 model using the DeepSeek API. However, I was … |
| | In the [last article](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/computer-science/tutorials/542973/benchmarking-deepseek-r1-for-text-classification-and-summarization#post2300447), I explained how you can use the [DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B) model for text classification and summarization problems. In this article, we will use the [DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-70b](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-70B) for the same tasks. Following results from the [DeepSeek-AI's official paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2501.12948) show that `DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-70b` outperform the other distilled models on 4 out of … |
