Deepseeks Self Learning Breakthrough Is Incredible (Deepseek R2 News)



AI Summary

Summary of Deepseek’s Self-Improving AI Breakthrough

  1. Overview: Deepseek, an open research company, claims to have developed a self-improving AI model that enhances its ability to answer questions.

  2. Research Publication: On April 7, 2025, Deepseek released a paper detailing the mechanism by which their AI improves, focusing on inference time scaling for reward modeling.

  3. Key Points:

    • Improvement Mechanism: The AI uses a reward model to evaluate and improve its responses by simulating multiple assessments (sampling) to derive more accurate scores.
    • GRM Judge: Deepseek introduces a new type of judge called the GRM, which provides reasoning alongside scores, resulting in more flexible and detailed evaluations.
    • Reinforcement Learning: The AI judge is trained to generate principles and critiques that lead to accurate judgments, reinforcing good behavior over time.
    • Sampling Strategy: By asking the judge multiple times for the same evaluation, the final rating is based on combined scores, significantly enhancing accuracy.
  4. Performance Results:

    • The new AI judge demonstrates high performance across various tasks.
    • It can outperform larger models like GPT-4 when asked the same question multiple times.
    • Using a smaller AI (Meta RM) to filter critiques improves the reliability of judgments.
  5. Future Expectations: Deepseek is expected to release their next model, Deepseek R2, possibly as early as May 2025, potentially influencing the AI industry’s competitive landscape.
