Microsoft Brings DeepSeek R1 to Windows 11 Copilot+ PCs

Microsoft is bringing NPU-optimized versions of DeepSeek R1 to Copilot+ PCs.
– DeepSeek R1 is first coming to Qualcomm Snapdragon X-powered gadgets, followed by Intel and AMD AI chipsets.
– The DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5 B model is being contributed to the Microsoft AI Toolkit.

Microsoft has revealed that it’s bringing NPU-optimized versions of DeepSeek R1 to Copilot+ PCs. The business will also integrate the DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5 B model into its Microsoft AI Toolkit for designers, with the 7B and 14B variations set to follow.

In a current article, Microsoft announced that DeepSeek R1 designs will initially be available on Qualcomm Snapdragon X-powered PCs, followed by Intel Core Ultra 200V laptops and AMD AI chipsets. This release will enable designers to construct AI-powered apps that run locally on suitable Copilot+ PCs.

“The optimized DeepSeek models for the NPU take benefit of numerous of the key learnings and techniques from that effort, including how we separate out the various parts of the design to drive the very best tradeoffs in between performance and effectiveness, low bit rate quantization and mapping transformers to the NPU,” Microsoft explained.

Microsoft has described the hardware requirements for running these AI models on Windows 11 gadgets. To qualify, a PC should have a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) with a minimum of 40 TOPS (trillion operations per second), 16GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. This implies that PCs with old NPUs won’t be able to run these models locally.

How to run DeepSeek R1 on Windows 11 Copilot+ PCs?

To get going with DeepSeek on a Copilot+ PC, developers will require to produce an Azure account on Microsoft’s website. Now, launch Azure AI Foundry and after that look for DeepSeek R1. Select the “Take a look at model” choice, click Deploy, and then click “Deploy” again in the pop-up window. The Chat Playground alternative will appear, and developers can start explore DeepSeek R1 in your area on their Copilot+ PCs.

Microsoft has actually likewise announced that it’s making the open-source DeepSeek R1 LLM available for developers through Azure AI Foundry and GitHub. “Among the crucial advantages of using DeepSeek R1 or any other model on Azure AI Foundry is the speed at which designers can experiment, repeat, and integrate AI into their workflows. With built-in model evaluation tools, they can quickly compare outputs, benchmark performance, and scale AI-powered applications,” said Asha Sharma, Corporate Vice President, AI Platform.

A brand-new report from the Financial Times reveals that Microsoft is examining whether Chinese startup DeepSeek illegally utilized OpenAI’s information to train its R1 model. This action violates terms of service, and Microsoft prepares to work together with the US federal government to protect its AI model.

Microsoft’s announcement aims to attend to issues about DeepSeek potentially storing information on unsecured foreign networks. To alleviate this risk, the business has actually subjected DeepSeek R1 to extensive red teaming and safety evaluations to lower the threat of information breaches.
