DeepSeek, which has caused a significant stir in the artificial intelligence world, has made an important step for AMD users. The China-based AI lab DeepSeek announced that its R1 model can work in compatibility with AMD’s Ryzen AI and Radeon hardware. This development makes it possible for AMD users to run the DeepSeek R1 AI model locally on their own computers.

DeepSeek R1 now works with AMD-supported hardware

For AMD users wanting to run the DeepSeek R1 model, all the necessary guides and instructions have been published by AMD. The R1 model is compatible with AMD’s RX 7000 series graphics cards and selected Ryzen AI processors. However, to ensure smooth operation, the Adrenalin 25.1.1 driver must be installed. AMD also stated that its LM Studio software, which provides one-click installation, is fully integrated with Ryzen AI processors.

DeepSeek R1 comes with streamlined versions capable of supporting large-scale language models, enabling it to run efficiently even on consumer-grade hardware. Initially, the model was trained using 2,048 Nvidia H800 GPUs. However, it is now supported by AMD GPUs such as the RX 7600, 7700 XT, 7800 XT, and 7900 GRE. Additionally, it has been optimized to be compatible with Ryzen 8040 and 7040 series mobile APUs.

In addition to AMD, Nvidia graphics cards also support the DeepSeek R1 model. Huawei has integrated DeepSeek R1 support into its systems through Ascend AI GPUs. This demonstrates that DeepSeek is rapidly moving toward becoming a global standard.

The R1 model stands out for offering 11 times lower processing costs compared to current AI solutions. This model has garnered significant interest in the AI community and is cited as one of the factors contributing to the decline in Nvidia’s market value, which has dropped by $589 billion.
