The achievement was largely due to an idea the scientist had while they trained it. Instead of using the traditional ways, DeepSeek mainly uses Reinforcement Learning(RL, 强化学习). It helps AI learn by working out the right way to do things on its own to get points. This makes RI better at reasoning and solving hard problems What's more, DeepSeek-RI is open-source (开源的).

They can also change the code to meet their own needs Being open-source is very important for sharing knowledge and making technology better for everyone, said Liang Wenfeng, who set up DeepSeek ) 26.
