Can someone explain briefly what I need to download that might not be available if this comes to pass? Like I did some searching and I saw stuff about Ollama but it wasn't completely clear if that would be affected by this.

Very simple with ollama

Technically this isn't the case. These are Deepseek distilled with Qwen and Llama depending on the weight, so they are no longer Deepseek.

@[email protected] this is the official, extremely large, one. https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1

Well yes, it does specifically say so in the link. There's also one with the full model in what I linked

Oh nice, when Ollama first had this up I don't think the 671b model was there. I stand corrected on that!
