Sovereignty and hosting

Catalogue only

This model is catalogued for reference. It is not hosted on LLM EU yet, and no first-party endpoint serves it here. Requests to it go to the provider directly, under that provider's own terms.

Summary

It is a base checkpoint without instruction tuning. DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 8B is a mid-size open-weight language model from DeepSeek: 8B parameters under MIT. It takes text and returns text. The published configuration records no context window, so this card carries none. The repository was created in January 2025 and is mirrored on Hugging Face. The card is catalogue-only: LLM EU does not run this model. The publisher states no language coverage on the model page.

    Adequate

      Not verified: the provider has not documented this claim. — a language is listed as strong only where a source claims it; the card links the evidence where one exists.

      When to use it

      Strengths

      • open weights are published on Hugging Face and can be downloaded without a vendor agreement
      • mit licence, so commercial self-hosting is permitted without a separate agreement
      • at 8B parameters it fits on a single accelerator

      Limits

      • catalogue only — LLM EU does not run this model, and nothing on this card implies an LLM EU endpoint
      • no evaluation has been run by LLM EU
      • the published configuration records no context window, so the card carries none
      • at 8B parameters, the weights fit on a single modest accelerator
