While the upgrade will take only a few minutes to complete, please note that during the upgrade, all tasks that were still running on the node right before the upgrade will be killed. Slurm tasks initiated through srun or compute on the node will also be terminated. Jupyter-Slurm and sbatch tasks are not affect by the upgrade.

    We are excited to announce the immediate availability of DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-70B, the first open-source reasoning model released by DeepSeek on January 20th 2025. Reasoning models are trained to conduct a hidden reasoning process before providing a final response, giving them the ability to search through different possible solutions and self-correct. In our internal test, the new model was able to solve certain mathematics questions that all previous models had failed to solve.
