Microsoft has always relied on ChatGPT or GPT AI large language model from Open AI. However, the company is now planning to expand its AI capabilities by integrating the DeepSeek-R1 model into the Windows Copilot+ PCs.DeepSeek’s advancements in AI efficiency have disrupted the market, leading to a selloff in AI-related stocks, including NVIDIA. The company’s R1 model requires less computational power than competitors, raising questions about its methods and impact on the AI landscape.The DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B model will be the first to arrive on Copilot+ PCs, optimised for NPUs (neural processing units). Microsoft plans to release larger 7B and 14B versions later, enabling developers to build AI-powered applications that operate efficiently on local hardware. Copilot+ PCs require a minimum of 16GB RAM, 256GB storage, and NPUs with at least 40 TOPS (trillions of operations per second). Do you support DeepSeek on Microsoft windows ?
