R1 0528 is the newest update to the R1 model.

Overview

  • The May 28 update equips R1 with coding enhancements that enable users to generate and run interactive Python or HTML5 games without local environment setup.
  • DeepSeek offers these advanced coding features free of charge, making the model popular among educational institutions, nonprofits and individual creators.
  • Its compute-efficient design has led analysts to question whether Western AI firms can maintain their market lead and if demand for premium AI chips will hold.
  • Several U.S. government agencies and major tech companies have moved to restrict or ban DeepSeek over data security and foreign influence concerns.
  • R1’s permissive licensing on Hugging Face has spawned over 500 derivative models and 2.5 million downloads, even as Chinese regulators vet its outputs for “core socialist values.”
