DeepSeek R1 (Basic) is the cost-optimized serverless deployment of DeepSeek-R1. Compared to the DeepSeek R1 (Fast) endpoint, R1 (Basic) provides lower per-token prices with slower speeds, see https://fireworks.ai/pricing for details. Identical models are served on the two endpoints, so there are no quality or quantization differences. DeepSeek-R1 is a state-of-the-art large language model optimized with reinforcement learning and cold-start data for exceptional reasoning, math, and code performance. The model is identical to the one uploaded by DeepSeek on HuggingFace. Note that fine-tuning for this model is only available through contacting fireworks at https://fireworks.ai/company/contact-us.
