AMD today announced a major breakthrough in artificial intelligence: DeepSeek R1’s “thinking” AI models are now available on AMD Ryzen™ AI processors and Radeon™ graphics cards. This development allows users to run advanced AI models on their own PCs, opening up a new era of AI applications in the home and office.

What makes the new models special?

DeepSeek R1 is a new kind of language model that revolutionizes the way artificial intelligence works. Unlike traditional AI models that respond instantly, DeepSeek R1 first goes through a “thinking” phase. During this phase, it analyzes the problem in thousands of steps before providing a final answer. Users can also see this thinking process, which makes the model more transparent.

This approach is particularly effective:

  • In solving complex mathematical problems
  • In the analysis of scientific problems
  • In solving multi-step logic puzzles
  • In answering questions that require detailed analysis

How to use it?

The technology is available through the LM Studio application, which is a simple process to install. Different hardware can run different sized models:

High-end devices:

  • AMD Ryzen™ AI Max+ 395 (64GB and 128GB): Supports up to 70B model parameters
  • AMD Radeon™ RX 7900 XTX: Optimized for up to 32B parameter models

Middle category:

  • AMD Ryzen™ AI HX 370 and 365: 14B parameter models
  • AMD Radeon™ RX 7800 XT and 7700 XT: 14B Parameter Models

Basic category:

  • AMD Radeon™ RX 7600: 8B Parameter Models
  • AMD Ryzen™ 8040 and 7040 Series: 14B Parameter Models

Why is this development significant?

  1. Data protection: Running models locally significantly increases data security, as sensitive information does not leave the user's computer.
  2. Cost-effectiveness: No need for ongoing subscriptions or use of cloud-based services.
  3. Independence: Users are not at the mercy of the availability of Internet services or the decisions of service providers.
  4. Performance: With AMD's latest hardware, the models are able to operate in real time, without latency.

Future prospects

This development is expected to significantly impact the accessibility and usability of AI technologies. Advanced AI models that can be run in home and office environments open up new opportunities in education, research and business applications. With this move, AMD strengthens its leadership in the market for AI solutions optimized for personal computers.

As technology advances, it is expected that even larger and more advanced models will become available on personal computers, further democratizing the use of artificial intelligence.
