About
DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-14B is DeepSeek's January 2025 reasoning distillation built on Qwen2.5-14B, fine-tuned with 800K samples curated from DeepSeek-R1. It brings explicit step-by-step reasoning to the popular 14B size class.
Under the MIT license, it became a favorite for self-hosted reasoning assistants and coding agents that need more headroom than 8B models without jumping to 32B infrastructure.
