Testing DeepSeek R1 70B: A Hands-On Demonstration

<p>In my latest video, I dive into the world of AI by testing the <strong>DeepSeek R1 70B model</strong> using <strong>OpenWeb UI </strong>. But before jumping into the AI action, I take a moment to showcase my hardware setup—because no AI experiment is complete without some serious computing power!</p> <p>Here’s what you’ll see in the video:</p> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Hardware Setup</h2> <ul class="wp-block-list"><li>My trusty NVIDIA GPUs: <strong>RTX 2080 Ti </strong>, <strong>RTX 3090 </strong>, and the beastly <strong>RTX 3090 Ti </strong>.</li> <li>Monitoring tools like <strong>NVTop</strong> (because keeping an eye on your system's performance is crucial when running AI workloads).</li> </ul> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">The AI Demonstration</h2> <p>After setting up, I put DeepSeek R1 70B to the test with some fun and challenging questions:</p> <ol start="1" class="wp-block-list"><li><strong>Math Time </strong>: What is 10x10?</li> <li><strong>Sports Fans Rejoice </strong>: Name the top 10 NBA players of all time and rank them by scoring.</li> <li><strong>History Mystery </strong>: In Greek mythology, who was Jason's maternal great-grandfather?</li> </ol> <p>The video also highlights an important lesson: AI isn’t always perfect. I compare DeepSeek’s answers to Google’s results and point out some discrepancies. This serves as a reminder that while AI is incredibly powerful, it’s not infallible—always double-check its double-check its responses!</p> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Special Note</h2> <p>This is my very first video upload on the <strong>CollierComputers</strong> channel, so I’m excited to finally share this content with you all! There’s plenty more to come as I dive deeper into AI experiments and hardware setups.</p> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Key Takeaways from the Video</h2> <ul class="wp-block-list"><li><strong>AI vs. Reality </strong>: A comparison of DeepSeek R1 70B’s answers versus Google’s results.</li> <li><strong>Hardware Setup Tips </strong>: How to monitor and optimize your system for AI workloads using tools like NVTop (Grafana wasn’t cooperating during this recording, but it’s on my list to fix!).</li> <li><strong>Practical Testing </strong>: A hands-on look at how modern AI models perform in real-world scenarios.</li> </ul> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why You Should Watch This Video</h2> <p>If you’re curious about:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"><li>How AI models like DeepSeek R1 70B work in practice.</li> <li>The importance of verifying AI responses.</li> <li>A behind-the-scenes look at running AI experiments with high-end hardware.</li> </ul> <p>Then this video is for you!
