Hugging Face Takes on DeepSeek with Open-R1

• Just a week after DeepSeek's R1 AI model release, Hugging Face researchers, led by Leandro von Werra, announced Open-R1 to replicate and open-source R1's components.
• DeepSeek's R1, despite its performance, lacks transparency, pushing Hugging Face to pursue an open knowledge approach.
• The Open-R1 project aims to democratize AI development, leveraging community efforts and Hugging Face's resources to build a transparent, open-source reasoning model.
