Instructions to use deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

Does this have tooling support?

Curious too see if these models have tooling support?

It is worth mentioning that it is time to abandon the traditional json tool call and use code to call the tool. It works well with DeepSeek R1

its based on Qwen which is functions calling supportive. It should work well but its not one of the main goals for the model. if u can contribute with some results for the community .. it will be helpful
