DeepSeek-R1: How companies can use it safely

BI2run - DeepSeek for Companies

DeepSeek-R1 has taken the AI world by storm – but with great achievements come challenges. While the model shows impressive progress in AI technology, there are many critical voices on ethical issues and possible biases in the generated results. Nevertheless, IBM has now managed to make the safe, distilled variants of DeepSeek-R1 easily and efficiently available on IBM watsonx.

What are “distilled” variants?

Distillation is a technique in machine learning in which knowledge from a large, powerful model is transferred to a smaller, more efficient version. The core functionality of the original model is largely retained, while the size and computing effort are reduced. This enables faster inference and lower energy consumption, which is particularly beneficial for companies with high scaling requirements.

Why the distilled variants of DeepSeek?

DeepSeek-R1 is one of the most powerful open-source AI models with strong capabilities in NLP, code generation and logical reasoning. Thanks to the distillation technique, secure, reduced variants have been developed that combine high performance with optimized resource requirements. This means that companies can use a powerful AI solution that is both efficient and secure. In addition, the improved controllability of the models ensures data protection-compliant application and regulatory security.

Advantages of DeepSeek-R1 on IBM watsonx

1. Simple integration

With Custom Model Import, the distilled variants of DeepSeek-R1 can be easily added to existing systems and seamlessly integrated into IBM watsonx. As a result, companies benefit from rapid deployment and an optimized AI infrastructure that is both powerful and secure.

2. Flexible use

Whether in the cloud or on-premises – IBM watsonx adapts to individual requirements. This enables companies to choose the right infrastructure depending on their security and performance requirements without having to forego the benefits of modern AI technology.

3. Security and scalability

With watsonx.governance, IBM ensures transparent and compliant use of AI models by helping companies to comply with ethical and regulatory standards. The use of proven security standards and flexible scaling ensures that companies can use a reliable and controllable AI infrastructure at all times, even as demand grows.

4. Optimized performance

Less computational effort means faster and more cost-efficient inference. The reduced model size makes it possible to realize powerful AI applications even with limited computing resources and thus enable broader use in a wide variety of business areas.
