Perplexity AI has released R1 1776, an uncensored version of DeepSeek-R1, aimed at tackling biases in AI. This model provides factual responses on sensitive topics, enhancing openness in AI applications. The weights are available on HuggingFace for broader research and development.

Details:

  • Model Release: R1 1776, a post-trained version of DeepSeek-R1, now open-sourced to combat censorship and bias.

  • Focus Area: Addressing the model's previous limitations on discussing topics censored by the Chinese Communist Party, like Taiwan's independence and its potential economic impacts.

  • Data Collection: Utilized human experts to gather 40k multilingual prompts on censored topics, ensuring no PII was included.

  • Training Approach: Employed Nvidia's NeMo 2.0 framework for post-training, maintaining the model's reasoning capabilities while removing censorship.

  • Evaluation: Conducted extensive testing to confirm the model's ability to handle sensitive topics without evasion or sanitization, maintaining performance on academic and internal benchmarks.

  • Availability: Model weights can be downloaded from the HuggingFace repository, offering developers and researchers access to an unbiased AI tool.
