I have been using deepseek-r1:1.5b/8b on a MacBook m1 pro max. The performance has been pretty good, at par with the o1. So last 2 days i have been running them side by side. I'm satisfied with the results and performance. That's a not very cheap 2k hardware and it does the job.

Didn't he buy Twitter to not make money but to save humanity? So it should not be measured in financial terms, but humanity points that he smokes. Applauses to his investors for joining the great cause. Edit: this is a rant.
