Install Ollama to run DeepSeek's deepseek-r1-ab model locally and offline. The demo shows the model answering "What is life?" with chain-of-thought reasoning, no internet needed, fast enough to build applications on top of it.

All right, so you probably heard about the DeepSeek AI model that got released. So let me show you how you can run it locally, and I'm using Ollama. Once you install Ollama, if you go to ollama.com and install the process, if I list here, I already have that model already downloaded on my system. And if I want to run it now, I'll say ollama run and I'll say deepseek-r1-ab. It's gonna start and I can ask you questions. What is life? And it should show the thinking process, our chain of thought process going on here. And now it's thinking, it's going to kick it up and it's going to start thinking. So you can see the thinking and it already answered. It didn't even need to think about that, about that question. So pretty fast, pretty quick. But just wanted to show you how you can run this locally. There's no connection to internet, you don't need any. You can just run this locally, ask it questions, and build up on top of it. So see ya.
