Researchers from DeepSeek and Tsinghua University have recently made significant advancements in AI reasoning capabilities. By combining Reinforcement Learning with a self-reflection mechanism, they have created AI models that can achieve a deeper understanding of problems and solutions without needing external supervision. This innovative approach is setting new standards for AI development, enabling models to reason, self-correct, and explore alternative solutions more effectively. The advancements showcase that outstanding performance and efficiency don’t require secrecy.
Researchers have implemented the Chain-of-Action-Thought (COAT) approach in these enhanced AI models. This method leverages special tokens such as "continue," "reflect," and "explore" to guide the model through distinct reasoning actions. This allows the AI to navigate complex reasoning tasks in a more structured and efficient manner. The models are trained in a two-stage process. DeepSeek has also released papers expanding on reinforcement learning for LLM alignment. Building off prior work, they introduce Rejective Fine-Tuning (RFT) and Self-Principled Critique Tuning (SPCT). The first method, RFT, has a pre-trained model produce multiple responses and then evaluates and assigns reward scores to each response based on generated principles, helping the model refine its output. The second method, SPCT, uses reinforcement learning to improve the model’s ability to generate critiques and principles without human intervention, creating a feedback loop where the model learns to self-evaluate and improve its reasoning capabilities.

DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup founded in 2023, is rapidly gaining traction as a competitor to established models like ChatGPT and Claude. They have quickly risen to prominence and are now competing against much larger parameter models with much smaller compute requirements. As of January 2025, DeepSeek boasts 33.7 million monthly active users and 22.15 million daily active users globally, showcasing its rapid adoption and impact.
Qwen has recently introduced QwQ-32B, a 32-billion-parameter reasoning model, designed to improve performance on complex problem-solving tasks through reinforcement learning and demonstrates robust performance in tasks requiring deep analytical thinking. The QwQ-32B leverages Reinforcement Learning (RL) techniques through a reward-based, multi-stage training process to improve its reasoning capabilities, and can match a 671B parameter model. QwQ-32B demonstrates that Reinforcement Learning (RL) scaling can dramatically enhance model intelligence without requiring massive parameter counts. Recommended read:

DeepSeek has made significant advancements in AI model training and efficiency with its Fire-Flyer AI-HPC infrastructure. This homegrown infrastructure enables the training of trillion-parameter models with unprecedented cost efficiency. What makes this software-hardware co-design framework even more remarkable is that DeepSeek has accomplished this infrastructure feat with a team of fewer than 300 employees, showcasing their deep technical expertise in building a system optimized for high-speed data access and efficient computation.
The Fire-Flyer AI-HPC infrastructure is specifically designed for training and serving deep learning models and Large Language Models (LLMs) at scale. It leverages thousands of GPUs to accelerate computationally intensive tasks, a custom-built distributed file system for high-speed data access, and efficient inter-GPU communication. DeepSeek has replicated the "thinking" token behavior of OpenAI's o1 model and published the full technical details of their approach in their "DeepSeek-R1: Incentivizing Reasoning Capability in LLMs via Reinforcement Learning" paper.

DeepSeek AI's R1 model, a reasoning model praised for its detailed thought process, is now available on platforms like AWS and NVIDIA NIM. This increased accessibility allows users to build and scale generative AI applications with minimal infrastructure investment. Benchmarks have also revealed surprising performance metrics, with AMD’s Radeon RX 7900 XTX outperforming the RTX 4090 in certain DeepSeek benchmarks. The rise of DeepSeek has put the spotlight on reasoning models, which break questions down into individual steps, much like humans do.
Concerns surrounding DeepSeek have also emerged. The U.S. government is investigating whether DeepSeek smuggled restricted NVIDIA GPUs via Singapore to bypass export restrictions. A NewsGuard audit found that DeepSeek’s chatbot often advances Chinese government positions in response to prompts about Chinese, Russian, and Iranian false claims. Furthermore, security researchers discovered a "completely open" DeepSeek database that exposed user data and chat histories, raising privacy concerns. These issues have led to proposed legislation, such as the "No DeepSeek on Government Devices Act," reflecting growing worries about data security and potential misuse of the AI model.
