Published at: January 31, 2025

Why DeepSeek R1 Stands Out

DeepSeek R1 is making waves for its ability to deliver state-of-the-art AI capabilities at a fraction of the cost compared to other leading models. This makes it an ideal choice for businesses looking to integrate advanced AI without heavy infrastructure investments. With Microsoft Azure AI Foundry, developers can now access DeepSeek R1 on a trusted, scalable, and enterprise-ready platform, ensuring seamless integration while meeting strict SLAs, security standards, and responsible AI commitments.

Accelerating AI Innovation with Microsoft Azure


One of the standout features of using DeepSeek R1 on Microsoft Azure AI Foundry is the speed and flexibility it offers. Developers can experiment, iterate, and deploy AI-powered applications faster than ever before. Built-in model evaluation tools allow for quick performance benchmarking and output comparisons, enabling businesses to scale AI solutions efficiently. This rapid accessibility aligns with Microsoft’s vision to bring the best AI models together in one place, unlocking new possibilities for enterprises worldwide.

Trustworthy AI for Enterprise-Grade Solutions


At Microsoft, we’re committed to enabling businesses to build production-ready AI applications with the highest levels of safety and security. DeepSeek R1 has undergone rigorous red teaming and safety evaluations, including automated behaviour assessments and extensive security reviews. With Azure AI Content Safety, built-in content filtering is available by default, and the Safety Evaluation System ensures applications are thoroughly tested before deployment. These safeguards make Azure AI Foundry a secure, compliant, and responsible environment for deploying AI solutions.

What’s Next for DeepSeek R1?


Microsoft continuously expands its AI offerings, and DeepSeek R1 is no exception. Coming soon, customers will be able to use distilled versions of DeepSeek R1 to run locally on Copilot+ PCs. This will further enhance accessibility and flexibility for developers and businesses alike.

A Transformative Addition to Microsoft Azure AI


The inclusion of DeepSeek R1 in the Microsoft Azure AI Foundry model catalogue marks a significant step forward in democratising AI. By offering cost-efficient, high-performance models like DeepSeek R1, Microsoft is empowering businesses of all sizes to harness cutting-edge AI tools and drive innovation.

Whether you're exploring Microsoft Azure Machine Learning, optimising workflows with Microsoft Azure for Business, or leveraging Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics, DeepSeek R1 is your gateway to transformative AI experiences.
