DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 8B

Runs as your own dedicated GPU deployment, ready to launch from the wizard. Data stays in Europe.

We introduce our first-generation reasoning models, DeepSeek-R1-Zero and DeepSeek-R1. DeepSeek-R1-Zero, a model trained via large-scale reinforcement learning (RL) without supervised fine-tuning (SFT) as a preliminary step, demonstrated remarkable performance on reasoning. With R...

Bench index

Bench is our quality index for every model, 0 to 100. It rests on public measurements (Epoch AI with about 40 benchmarks, LiveBench, LMArena and more) and is refreshed every morning. Where nobody measures, it shows an estimate with a range.

~32.2 / 100 · Estimate

No public benchmark yet: estimated from size and release date.

Frequently asked questions

Can I run DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 8B in the EU?

Yes. HostYourAI runs DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 8B on GPUs in European datacenters via vLLM. Prompts and outputs never leave the EU and there is no US cloud provider in the chain.

Is hosting DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 8B GDPR-compliant?

Yes. All processing happens inside the EU, a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is available and the subprocessor list is public. Open-source weights also mean: no training on your data.

How much does DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 8B cost?

DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 8B is available on request: through the shared EU router after a quick chat, or as your own dedicated GPU deployment billed per hour. Tell us your use case and we will set it up for you.

Is the API OpenAI-compatible?

Yes. You use the standard OpenAI SDKs with a custom base URL (https://hostyourai.com/api/v1). The Anthropic Messages API is supported as a drop-in as well.

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017

DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017 is a minor update to DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash, delivering substantial improvements across reasoning, coding, agentic tasks, and visual benchmarks. Alongside these gains, the model reduces task execution time and output length, enabling users to complete tasks faster and at lower cost and advancing the performance–cost Pareto frontier across multiple agent harnesses.
