Alibaba Cloud Launches DeepSeek Models, Offering Free Tokens
Alibaba Cloud recently announced that it has fully integrated the DeepSeek family of large language models (LLMs) onto its Bailian Platform. This integration aims to provide businesses and developers with greater access to powerful AI tools and simplify the AI model development process.
DeepSeek Models Now Available
The integrated DeepSeek models include:
- DeepSeek-V3: A robust model capable of handling complex tasks.
- DeepSeek-R1: Known for its strong reasoning capabilities across various domains.
- DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen: A series of distilled versions (32B, 14B, 7B, and 1.5B parameters) optimized for efficiency and accessibility.
Generous Free Token Offering
To encourage exploration and adoption, Alibaba Cloud is offering users 1 million free tokens for both the DeepSeek-R1 and DeepSeek-V3 models. This allows developers to experiment with these advanced models without incurring initial costs.
Competitive Pricing
Beyond the free tier, Alibaba Cloud is offering competitive pricing for DeepSeek models:
- DeepSeek-R1: Priced at 4 yuan per million tokens (input). This model is designed to provide powerful capabilities in mathematics, coding, and natural language processing.
- DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B: Available at 0.5 yuan per million tokens (input), making it one of the most affordable options in the market.
- DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B: Currently offered for free for a limited time, further enhancing accessibility for developers.
Simplified AI Development with Alibaba Cloud PAI
Alibaba Cloud's Platform of Artificial Intelligence (PAI) supports one-click deployment of DeepSeek-V3, DeepSeek-R1, and its distilled versions. This feature allows businesses and developers to easily deploy and customize these models.
Key benefits of using Alibaba Cloud PAI include:
- No-code deployment: Users can deploy models without writing code.
- End-to-end solution: The platform supports the entire AI model development lifecycle, from training to deployment and inference.
This simplified process greatly reduces the complexity of AI model development, making it accessible to a wider range of users.
