deepseek r1 0528 (catalog version 1) - deepseek

A model identifier observed by this modality; exact capabilities are not verified.

  • Catalog presence identifies a provider/model/version candidate, not its tested abilities.
  • Context limits, input/output modalities, licensing, and tool support need exact-model review.

No exact model capability or version is verified. The source provides category context only. Regional model-catalog evidence does not establish quota, account approval, deployment type, inference access, content filtering, performance, or data residency.

Help make this page clearer

Two short answers; GitHub will open a draft for your review. No Forms, token, or automatic submission.

This repository is public. Review the text and image for private details. Opening the draft sends text/context to GitHub in its URL. Pasting or attaching an image uploads it to GitHub immediately.

Describe the desired outcome in plain text. This becomes the issue's ### Objective. After reviewing the issue, a maintainer can add azure-backlog to queue it for a scheduled agent; the website does not add that label or start a run.
