# DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B · RKLLM

Text generation on Rockchip RK3576 and RK3588, converted from [deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B).

- **Conversion toolkit:** RKLLM Toolkit 1.3.0.
- **Inputs / output:** text → text.
- **License:** `mit`; the [upstream model card](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B) describes its terms and intended use.

## Choose your files

Use the files for your board’s exact SoC. `w4a16` uses 4-bit weights and 16-bit activations; `w4a16_g128` adds a weight group size of 128. `w8a8` uses 8-bit weights and activations. File size below is download size, not total runtime RAM.

| Board | Quantization | Size | Language model |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| RK3576 | `w4a16_g128` | 1.43 GiB | [DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B_RK3576_w4a16_g128.rkllm](RK3576/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B_RK3576_w4a16_g128.rkllm) |
| RK3576 | `w8a8` | 1.93 GiB | [DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B_RK3576_w8a8.rkllm](RK3576/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B_RK3576_w8a8.rkllm) |
| RK3588 | `w8a8` | 1.91 GiB | [DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B_RK3588_w8a8.rkllm](RK3588/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B_RK3588_w8a8.rkllm) |

## Run on your board

With Docker installed on a matching Rockchip board, this example starts the **RK3576 w4a16_g128** model and its API on port 8001:

```bash
sudo docker run --rm -d --name rkllm \
  --privileged -v /dev:/dev -p 8001:8001 \
  ghcr.io/hanzo-huang/rkllm-docker/llm/deepseek-r1-distill-qwen-1.5b:rk3576-w4a16-g128
```

The image includes its model file. See [rkllm-docker](https://github.com/Hanzo-Huang/rkllm-docker#readme) for API requests, other board variants, and configuration.

To download the files separately instead:

```bash
hf download HanzoHuang/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B-RKLLM \
  RK3576/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B_RK3576_w4a16_g128.rkllm \
  --local-dir ./models
```

These are native RKLLM/RKNN artifacts. Use a compatible RKLLM runtime and the model’s correct chat template when integrating them in another application.

## Release notes

No per-variant board benchmark is published here. Quantized output may differ from the original model; check responses on your own workloads. Use the toolkit version listed above when checking runtime compatibility.
