<p>Recently, China released a groundbreaking large language model or chatbot called DeepSeek-R1. According to the paper they published, this model is an improvement of DeepSeek-zero, which was purely trained using reinforcement learning.
</p><p>Reinforcement learning is a type of machine learning where a model learns by interacting with the environment without using prior data to train it. However, DeepSeek researchers noted that DeepSeek-zero grappled with performance challenges due to the fact that it was only trained with pure reinforcement learning.
</p><p>To improve DeepSeek-zero, they developed a new training pipeline, which gave birth to DeepSeek-R1, with much improved performance. This involved collecting thousands of cold start data as the starting point for reinforcement learning.
</p><p>Their aim was to explore the effect of incorporating a small amount of high-quality data as a cold start on model reasoning performance. DeepSeek researchers stated that the cold start data contributed to the boost in performance of DeepSeek-R1, which backs the statement that โ๐๐๐ฉ๐ ๐๐จ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ฃ๐๐ฌ ๐๐ค๐ก๐.โ

At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate contentโuse it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio contentโhigh-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover imagesโif your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
