Microsoft has quickly integrated DeepSeek’s R1 model into its AI ecosystem, making it available on Azure AI Foundry and GitHub. This allows customers to use the cost-efficient model in their applications, benefiting from its lower computational requirements compared to leading alternatives like OpenAI’s models. R1 has drawn attention for its affordability, as it requires significantly fewer high-performance chips, making AI development more accessible.
Microsoft emphasizes that using R1 through Azure AI Foundry enables faster experimentation and integration for developers. The model has undergone extensive safety assessments, including security reviews and automated behavior analysis. Additionally, a compact version of R1 will soon be available for local use on Copilot Plus PCs, with speculation that it may also appear in other Microsoft AI services.
Meanwhile, concerns have surfaced regarding the model’s training process. Microsoft and OpenAI are investigating whether DeepSeek may have leveraged OpenAI’s API to train R1. Security researchers detected large data transfers through OpenAI’s developer accounts late last year, raising suspicions about a possible connection to DeepSeek’s advancements.
