More about deepseek-r1-distill-qwen-32b

DeepSeek R1 Distill Qwen 32B is a distilled version of DeepSeek's reasoning model, fine-tuned from Qwen 32B to replicate R1's chain-of-thought reasoning behavior at a smaller, more efficient scale. Running on Cloudflare's edge network, it offers reasoning-model capabilities — step-by-step deliberation for math, logic, and coding problems — with the lower latency and cost profile of a 32B model. The 32K context window is adequate for focused reasoning tasks but limits its use for long-document analysis. Shares Cloudflare's 10,000 Neurons/day free pool and uses Cloudflare's native API format.
