Perplexity AI R1 1776: Uncensored DeepSeek-R1 Model Released


Perplexity AI has unveiled the R1 1776, a revamped version of the DeepSeek-R1 language model, now designed to offer unbiased, factual information without any censorship. This new release aims to fix some of the shortcomings of the original DeepSeek-R1, which often avoided sensitive topics or gave responses aligned with certain political agendas.

While DeepSeek-R1 was already a powerful language model with strong reasoning skills, it sometimes avoided certain issues or provided responses that leaned toward Chinese Communist Party viewpoints. To address this, Perplexity AI developed R1 1776 to deliver more accurate and unbiased answers while maintaining its reasoning capabilities.

The R1 1776 model has been retrained to remove any censorship, allowing it to tackle all kinds of questions directly and without bias. The Perplexity AI team compiled a diverse set of over 1,000 examples from multiple languages, including 40,000 real user questions about previously censored topics. This dataset was key in improving the model's ability to answer sensitive questions effectively.

Using Nvidia’s NeMo 2.0 framework, they retrained the model to be more open and responsive, removing the tendency to sanitize answers. Human annotators and judges helped fine-tune the model, ensuring it didn’t dodge tough questions.

In testing, R1 1776 outperformed its predecessor, answering questions on topics like Taiwan's independence and its possible effects on Nvidia’s stock price with clear, detailed responses, something the DeepSeek-R1 couldn’t do.

R1 1776 is now available on Hugging Face for download and can be accessed via Perplexity AI’s Sonar API. The company plans to keep refining the model and releasing new open-source versions to further enhance its capabilities.

With R1 1776, Perplexity AI aims to provide users with a reliable AI model that can handle tough questions and deliver unbiased information, making it a valuable tool for researchers, analysts, and anyone seeking factual insights.
