For more than a month, the world has been excited about a new AI model, DeepSeek-R1． It was developed by DeepSeek, a Chinese business based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province．

The new AI was released on Jan 20． In just one week, it beat OpenAI’s ChatGPT and became the top free app in Apple’s App Store, reported Xinhua．

Its developer said that DeepSeek-R1 is as good at difficult tasks as other big models but needs less computing power (算力)． It is also the cheapest of its kind and took only about 5．57million US dollars (40．58 million yuan) to develop． That is way less than the hundreds of millions or even billions that US businesses have had to spend on building similar AI models, Marc Andreessen, a technology expert in the US, told Xinhua．

DeepSeek-R1’s success largely came from its special training method． Traditionally, AI is trained in two ways． One is Chain-of-Thought (CoT, 思维链), where AI learns to break problems into smaller, simpler steps． The other is Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT, 监督微调), which works by showing AI lots of practice problems along with the right answers for it to find a pattern．

DeepSeek-R1, however, used Reinforcement Learning (RL, 强化学习) as the core method, Xinhua reported． In RL, AI learns by trying different things． It gets rewards for correct actions and gets punished for mistakes． For example, in a game, it gets points for picking up rubbish and loses points for breaking a glass． Over time, it works out the best solution all by itself．

This is how DeepSeek-R1 has grown to be a reasoning model, which is a new type of AI, noted Microsoft engineer Vinayak Hegde． Regular AI models, like GPT-4o, usually just give direct answers． But reasoning models are trained to both think and show the process．

38．What does Paragraph 2 mainly say about DeepSeek-R1?

A．It’s free．        B．It’s new．              C．It’s popular．         D．It’s special．

39．How does DeepSeek-R1 learn?

A．By breaking problems into smaller steps．

B．By finding the right patterns in practice problems．

C．By finding the right way to do things independently．

D．Dy following all kinds of orders from its creators．

40．How can the reasoning model be described?

A．It gives direct answers．                      B．It provides a lot of reasons．

C．It gives the best solution．                   D．It thinks and then decides．

41．What is the passage mainly about?

A．The application of DeepSeek-R1．        B．The challenges faced by DeepSeek-R1．

C．The differences between AI models．    D．The introduction to DeepSeek-R1．

D
