DeepSeek R1 Distill Qwen 32B - Dense Reasoning Model via Knowledge Distillation

DeepSeek R1 Distill Qwen 32B is a dense model produced by fine-tuning Qwen 2.5 on 800k reasoning samples curated from DeepSeek R1. It is one of six distilled models released alongside DeepSeek R1.

Base Model & Licensing

Derived from Qwen 2.5, originally licensed under Apache 2.0, and now fine-tuned with DeepSeek R1 reasoning data. Released under the MIT License, which explicitly permits commercial use, modifications, derivative works, and further distillation for training other LLMs.

Usage Recommendations

Officially documented usage configurations for the R1 Distill series:

  • Temperature: 0.5-0.7 (0.6 recommended) to prevent endless repetition or incoherent outputs
  • System prompt: Avoid adding a system prompt; all instructions should be in the user prompt
  • Math tasks: Include a directive such as "Please reason step by step, and put your final answer within \boxed{}"
  • Evaluation: Conduct multiple tests and average results.
