DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 70B

NVIDIA
DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-70B is a dense reasoning-optimized language model developed by DeepSeek AI through distillation from the larger DeepSeek-R1 model. It features a 70B parameter transformer architecture with 80 layers, 64 attention heads, and an 8,192 hidden size, built on the Llama architecture and fine-tuned using reasoning traces generated by DeepSeek-R1. The model is designed to transfer advanced reasoning behaviors into a smaller dense model, improving performance on mathematics, coding, and logical tasks. It supports a 128K token context window using Llama-3 style RoPE scaling for long-context reasoning and analysis.
