Yes, DeepSeek R1's release is impressive. But the real story is what happened in just 7 days after:

- Original release: 8 models, 540K downloads. Just the beginning...

- The community turned those open-weight models into +550 NEW models on Hugging Face. Total downloads? 2.5Mβ€”nearly 5X the originals.

The reason? DeepSeek models are open-weight, letting anyone build on top of them. Interesting to note that the community focused on quantized versions for better efficiency & accessibility. They want models that use less memory, run faster, and are more energy-efficient.

When you empower builders, innovation explodes. For everyone. πŸš€

The most popular community model? @bartowski 's DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B-GGUF version β€” 1M downloads alone.
