Is it true that DeepSeek R1 distilled models can be run locally on a consumer laptop using tools like Ollama?
Unclear. A course listing and a prompt-engineering resource indicate DeepSeek R1 can be run with Ollama on one's own hardware, and one benchmark reports a distilled 8B DeepSeek-R1 variant deployed locally. None of the placed sources specifically confirms running DeepSeek R1 distilled models on a consumer laptop via Ollama.
