SAVRN's Notes on DeepSeek-R1-0528-Qwen3-8B

At 16-bit precision this model asks for 19.7 GB of memory, which settles the hardware question early. DeepSeek built it on the Qwen3ForCausalLM architecture at 8.2 billion parameters for text generation, with a 131,072-token context window and weights that occupy 16.4 GB as safetensors. Drop to 8-bit and the memory need falls to 9.8 GB; at 4-bit it is 4.9 GB. The cheapest setup on our Index is a single MI300X with 192 GB at $1.85 per hour on demand, so one card holds it many times over.

The MIT license permits commercial use, modification and redistribution as long as the copyright and permission notices stay with the files. Before committing, confirm your workload needs the full 131,072-token context, read the describing paper arXiv:2501.12948, and note that our Index lists no per-token host prices for this model yet, so the hourly card rate is the only cost reference.

1. Introduction

The DeepSeek R1 model has undergone a minor version upgrade, with the current version being DeepSeek-R1-0528. In the latest update, DeepSeek R1 has significantly improved its depth of reasoning and inference capabilities by leveraging increased computational resources and introducing algorithmic optimization mechanisms during post-training. The model has demonstrated outstanding performance across various benchmark evaluations, including mathematics, programming, and general logic. Its overall performance is now approaching that of leading models, such as O3 and Gemini 2.5 Pro.

Compared to the previous version, the upgraded model shows significant improvements in handling complex reasoning tasks. For instance, in the AIME 2025 test, the model’s accuracy has increased from 70% in the previous version to 87.5% in the current version. This advancement stems from enhanced thinking depth during the reasoning process: in the AIME test set, the previous model used an average of 12K tokens per question, whereas the new version averages 23K tokens per question.
